Slippery When Wet's Classic Fairy Tales of Murder and Mayhem by Linda Vanek

Not for the faint of heart, this is a very imaginative reinterpretation of six classic fairy tales, with an epilogue that's unique, to say the least. This book is SICK! And I mean that in the best possible way. I got a free copy of this book via Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review. This book includes Bluebeard, Rumpelstiltskin, Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and more. Each story and many characters are tied together all into one dysfunctional kingdom with a viciously abusive king and many murderous, lascivious and just plain monstrously evil people. This book will haunt your dreams if not give you vivid nightmares. A delectable feast for true horror fairy tale fans. So come down to the dungeon, settle onto your Judas cradles and break out your heretic forks. These stories are deeply dark with twisted sexual encounters and the women in these fairy tales are not the tenderhearted pushovers as in modern-day fairy tales. These are extremely gruesome adult retellings of classic fairy tales more than just fractured. If you enjoy dark humor with your incest, torture, cannibalism, dismemberment, and other medieval pastimes you've come to the right place. Discover the real price Rumpelstiltskin charges for spinning straw into gold. A product of incest when her own half brother comes upon her helplessly passed out in a coma and takes advantage. Meet Sleeping Beauty's twin henchman sons. The Wolf is the least of Red Riding Hood's problems. Rapunzel is the unbalanced spawn of an opium-addicted mother. Only then can the damage be repaired from when Natharr chose personal happiness with Darshelle and the young crown prince over his weighty responsibilities as Guardian of Maarihk.Bluebeard's naive bride is only a cover for his truly brutal fetishes. Natharr and Ellis must navigate the threats not only against the Firstborn, but the Maarihkish, as they seek out the sympathizers he Saw who are brave enough to resist Maarihk's tyranny. It has been far worse since the rise of Brandt the Usurper to Maarihk's throne. He joins with a mysterious Firstborn companion, Ellis the Elder, to journey into the snow reaches of Biraald, where his Sight promises he will find those who secretly adhere to the ways of the Olde Gods.Īlthough Biraaldi bloodlines show their Firstborn heritage more clearly than even in Maarihk itself, the two nations have never enjoyed peace. 'Despite the Guardian of Maarihk being condemned as anathema, and his very existence relegated to legend, Natharr resumes his ancient responsibilities as Mankind's protector.
