Once Upon A Scream

Fairy Tales have hidden depths: we don't often get to discover the real meaning of the mysterious creatures which show up in these stories. We read tales of kidnapped children, of young ones coerced into horrendous fates by getting involved with the shape changing older ones... the trickery and deceit which goes on under the very noses of the people who should have known better but who ended up getting involved... Knowing all this, we still come back for more. Once Upon A Scream is a collection of outrageous crimes committed against those who walk into the many traps laid for them, (Cinderella's ugly stepsisters are a case in point, Hansel and Gretel are another... that really is a 'child beware!' tale if ever there was one!) with every story bringing its own wild selection of nastiness by animals and people alike. Find a whole new world of fairy lands and strange people in this fascinating collection of dark stories written by the best writers we could find.
