RED AS BLOOD or TALES FROM THE SISTERS GRIMMER by Tanith Lee

How would it be if Snow White were the real villain & the wicked queen just a sadly maligned innocent? What if awakening the Sleeping Beauty should be the mistake of a lifetime–of several lifetimes? What if the famous folk tales were retold with an eye to more horrific possibilities?

Only Tanith Lee could do justice to it. In RED AS BLOOD, she displays her soaring imagination at its most fantastically mischievous. Not for nothing was the title story named as a Nebula nominee. Not for nothing was the author of THE BIRTHGRAVE & THE STORM LORD called by New York’s Village Voice, “Goddess-Empress of the Hot Read.”

Here are the world-famous tales of such as the Brothers Grimm as they might have been retold by the Sisters Grimmer! Fairy tales for children? Not on your life!

Dark and sensual retellings of famous fairy tales. Especially THE GOLDEN ROPE (a version of Rapunzel in which a young woman is groomed for a dark god) and BEAUTY (futuristic Beauty and the Beast) are very reylo.
