I'm always in the mood for some fairy tale retellings, though I must say that dark retellings are rare treats. It was quite a frightening experience when I first read the original Brother Grimms' tales - Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, etc, each being turned into something far more wicked and evil. I'm interested to see what kind of retellings these authors can come up with and whether or not they fulfill the level of darkness and cruelty.
What are you waiting today?
I'm sooo waiting on this. :) I love dark and creepy things and I ADORE fairy tale retellings. Win-win right?!
ReplyDeleteExactly :D I need to read Splintered! That series is supposed to be a dark retelling.
