    About this ebook

    Everyone loves fairy tales. Whether we learn them from Disney or the Brothers Grimm, they teach us that love is forever, the virtuous are rewarded, and that we should always share our bread with strange old women. But what can we do when the beautiful princesses are serial murderers, or when the handsome king and his true love can’t live happily ever after? These ten stories explore the edges of fairy tales, out along the dark rim of story where they stretch into horror and parody.

    Author

    M. L. John

    The first novel M. L. John ever read was Frank L. Baum’s The Wizard of Oz, and she has had a love of fantasy ever since. As soon as her handwriting was good enough to write full sentences, she started writing stories about beautiful princesses who spent their time rescuing princes and slaying dragons. Very little has changed about her writing style since that time, with the possible exception of her penmanship. She lives in Colorado with her true love, their three children, an obnoxious baby brother who still won’t let her change the television channel, and a small menagerie of yippy little dogs and cats big enough to saddle. These days, she spends most of her time explaining different mythologies to her kids until their little eyes glaze and roll back in their heads.
