Ever since I was young, I loved a good fairytale. But haven't all of us? I mean, who doesn't love this story: a beautiful girl, a handsome prince, and a very happily ever after. The dream, right?
But, in recent times, I've begun to hate those retellings that sugar coat the old, bloody tales. I craved some sense of reality. Some proof in literature that life isn't fair for everyone, because it never is and perfection isn't something to aspire to, because you can't.
So I read the old Brother's Grimm books and decided to take the sugar-coated versions and make them dark again.
Twist the tales so they're new, but still keep that aspect of... 'Grimm-ness.' Some will be modern, some will be set in a time when electricity was witchcraft and 'witch hunt' wasn't a metaphorical phrase.
So they're going to be different. But there will be plenty of blood. And some crazy stuff.
