Fairy Tale Anthology Series

About this series
We all know the story of the little girl in a red cloak and hood, going through the forest to visit her grandmother, who meets up with a wolf
Or do we really know the story? Could it be all wrong? A coverup? Is the wolf an innocent victim, slandered by bad PR? Was the grandmother the villain? Or the woodsman? Or Red Riding Hood herself?
These twelve stories take the familiar and twist it around, inside out and upside down. The settings vary from fairytale to the modern world, from a peasant village to a college campus, from a high school drama to a Southern town with strange goings-on. They feature spies and shapeshifters and greedy relatives, bullies and lawyers and private investigators. You'll laugh, you'll shiver, you'll boo and cheer -- maybe both at the same time.
Settle in and hold on tight, because these definitely aren't your granny's fairytales…

A burst of inspiration drives a baker to build a tower—without a door. But it proves to be the perfect dwelling for a certain old woman. The question is –Why? A tower can be a safe place, especially during a zombie apocalypse. But what do you do when your safe place becomes a prison? When communications between two castles have been cut off, a maiden must ride to rescue her friend from an evil … realtor? We all know the tale of Rapunzel and her hair growth problem, but what if her hair grew – everywhere? When the moon was full and bright? Yes, we have a werewolf in our midst! Chemical warfare is a sad fact of our modern life, but what if scientists learned to modify people to give them supernatural abilities? Like telekinesis? Or maybe tentacle hair? On a spaceship far away, a young woman lives alone in a different kind of tower. One day, her songs reach a fellow traveler… These are but a few of the stories you are about to dive into! The sixteen stories within these pages will take you to the realms of the fairies, to desert lands far away, to war-torn places where weary characters just try to survive, to forests, to windswept seascapes, to London and New York City, and into the far reaches of the galaxy. Explore the realms with us!
