Grimm's Anew: A Quintet of Fairy Tales Rewritten For Adults of the Modern Age by Peter Johnson
fast-paced
1.0
This is a short collection of five classic fairy tales, given a rather adult treatment. As erotica it doesn't really hit the mark. For example, Bluebeard having sex with his latest wife, ejaculates "warm man-wine" and I'm sorry... it is not sexy.
I will say that the Hansel and Gretel retelling has an especially disturbing ending, after their incestuous affair ends with them both butchered and eaten by the witch. Quite vividly, too. That's really the only point of interest here for me, though.
Some proof-reading wouldn't go amiss, either.
