Dark Fairy Tales

A Disturbing Collection of the Original Stories

About this book

Discover the original macabre stories of your most beloved classics in this collection of disturbingly dark fairy tales.

'Story-telling is one of the most ancient and universal of arts.' – Laura F. Kready, A Study of Fairy Tales, 1916

'The instruments of darkness tell us truths.' – William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1623

This twisted treasury presents over forty of the world's most wicked fairy tales, including the original versions of stories you thought you knew, such as 'Cinderella', 'Sleeping Beauty', and 'Snow White'. Relish in the morbid darkness of these early classics, alongside many other tales you haven't heard before. From renowned storytellers of the fairy tale genre, this collection sources works from the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Andersen, and many more.

Dark Fairy Tales is woven with themes of lost innocence, beastly bonds, and haunted hearts, aiming to inspire, caution, and illuminate valuable aspects of the human experience. Be warned, for these stories are not for the faint of heart and happy endings cannot be guaranteed.
