An interesting collection of stories intended to be fairy tale retellings. Some were captivating, some revolting, all unsettling. All were well written and all left me feeling slightly disturbed. None of them sat well with me. I did not “like” this book. In fact, I probably hated it. There was no simplicity of story and character. It all seemed so pretentious in their style. And yet there was something to be appreciated.

Ugh, this anthology is not at all suitably formatted to read on a phone. Blockquote is not a friend here. At least the stories themselves render okay.

Finished this up tonight for my #fairytaleretelling prompt for #booked2019!

This is an anthology of fairytale retellings, many of them darker in nature than our traditional knowledge of fairytales. Definitely for adults rather than children!

I absolutely love fairytales, folklore, mythology and retellings. Really enjoyed this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

The winter weather is back here... 🙄 what better way to spend a night listening to ice falling outside than with some dark faerie tales? 🕯

Special on kindle version for those who love fairy tale retellings...some pretty amazing authors contributing stories.

Finally got to this beauty today. I‘m already loving it! #riotgrams #fairytales #currentlyreading

Well, #forest and woods are synonyms (I guess), so this collection of dark retellings seems very fitting for today 🌳🌲🌳🌲

Had to head outside for today‘s prompt!

What a great collection of fairytale retellings! I love there is a little intro page before each tale, that inteoduces the author and/or the original tale. Some stories were closer connected to their original story than others, which gave some great variety to my reading experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading a #fairytaleaday from this book in November 👏👏

I couldn't wait any longer with opening my #theretellingbookswap package - and I'm so excited about everything in it! Thanks @TK421 👏👏 Everything you have given me looks awesome, and I can't wait to read all the books! And the t-shirt might be my new favourite Sunday-reading-shirt 😄

And thanks to @Mommamanzi for organizing all this! 👏

My husband bribed me into eating a hot chili pepper with the promise of a book. I do not handle spicy food well, but I'll do anything for book. And the contributor list on this one was amazing.

This is fascinating, and doesn't feel untrue to me
