<p> A collection of fairy tales without fairies, featuring sequels to Grimm classics, retellings of foreign legends and more than a few original tales from my own head. </p> <p> Includes: </p> <p> The wolf brutalized at the end of Little Red Riding Hood returns with robotic implants, desperate for revenge. </p> <p> Snow White teeters on the edge of 40. </p> <p> A Japanese fisherman saves a turtle and is rewarded two-fold: a guided tour of an underwater world and a shotgun marriage with a capricious princess. </p> <p> Cinderella can't stop cleaning the palace. </p> <p> Pirates of the Qing Dynasty era square up against a bold young nut-seller and a talking fox. </p> <p> The legendary assassins of Alamut haunt a paranoid Sultan. </p> <p> For every wicked act, a new white hair appears on a young woman's head. </p> <p> And many more tales that, if summarised, would make this blurb go on forever. </p>
