Happily ever after sometimes just means surviving... Nine fairy tales reimagined within the worlds of horror, history and mythology. What if the Evil Queen fell in love with Snow White or Sleeping Beauty’s curse came with a beast? And how far would someone go to avenge their family? These stories upturn your favourite tales and retell them with a horror spin, weaving them into such diverse settings as feudal Japan, the ancient Roman Empire, and Celtic Ireland. Gone are the damsels in distress and the heroic princes, this is the grim world of folklore where the princesses are the monsters or the champions of their own fate. No one is coming to save them, but they’ll fight their way out of madness and terror or die trying.
