    About this ebook

    One month.

    Thirty-one stories.

    Fourteen challenges.

    Sixteen fairy tales.

    Also, everyone in this collection is queer.

    From trans Cinderella to a polyamorous retelling of "The Firebird" in space, these 31 very short stories are full of the wonder, the enchantment, the darkness and the romance for which fairy tales are best known. Written entirely during July 2018 as a part of Flash Fiction Month.

    Author

    G. Deyke

    G. Deyke is an indie author of games, novels, short stories, flash fiction, and the occasional poem. They will write anything from humor to horror to fairy tales, but have a particular penchant for speculative fiction: especially (though not exclusively) fantasy. They currently reside in a small village in southern Germany. Due to a tragic imbalance of their machismo-to-sense ratio, G. Deyke can never refuse a ridiculous challenge.
