Once Upon A Scream (Hardback Edition)

<p>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... </p><p> </p><p>Knowing all this we still come back for more. </p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>In this anthology we have:- </p><p><br></p><p>We're Ugly and We Own It - David Turnbull</p><p>Alternate Endings - Rie Sheridan Rose</p><p>Wicked Heart - Gina Easton</p><p>Who's Afraid? - Liam Spinage</p><p>Beauty Within The Briar - Rie Sheridan Rose</p><p>Becoming - Jason R Frei</p><p>The Cindy Killer Story - Stuart Holland</p><p>Unlicensed To Live - Dan Allen</p><p>Beautiful Wickedness - Brooke MacKenzie</p><p>The Head Above The Gate - Rie Sheridan Rose</p><p>A Reward of Summer Sweets - Aaron Padley</p><p>In Eiger Wild Wood - Geoff Nelder</p><p>Arsenic and Red Leather - Jason R Frei</p><p>Lord of the Dance - Liam Spinage</p><p>Chains of Straw - Rie Sheridan Rose</p><p>Little Red Cyber Head - Gary Budgen</p><p>Collector of Teeth - Travis Mushanski</p><p> </p>
