About Dark and Twisted Fairy tales

My name is Mrs. Johnson and I’ve always been fascinated in fairy tales. I love how in almost each and everyone there is a princess who is rescued by a tall, dark and handsome hero. However, we all know that this isn’t true. Let’s take a look at the original fairy tales and modern day variations of what some call dark twisted fairy tales for young adults.

Retellings

Cinderella’s Dark and Twisted Fairy Tale Retellings

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness.

It isn't easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.

One Last Chance To Save Happily Ever After! Can a group of heroes, including Goldenhair, Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel, help General Snow White and her dwarven resistance fighters defeat the tyrannical Queen Cinderella?

Little Mermaid’s Retellings

Fierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences.

Princess Margrethe has been hidden away while her kingdom is at war. One gloomy, windswept morning, as she stands in a convent garden overlooking the icy sea, she witnesses a miracle: a glittering mermaid emerging from the waves and a nearly drowned man in her arms.

Little Red Riding Hood’s Retellings

Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death.

When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust a stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. Now, both of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana.
