    [Anthology Review] Grim Edited By Christine Johnson & CoffeeAM Black Forest Cake Flavored Coffee

    All of the short stories in Grim are retellings of classic fairy tales – and not the sanitized, Disney versions, oh no, these stories stay true to the essence of the original tales, which are much darker, grittier, and, in some cases, bloodier. There’s a good selection here with some modern retellings, some set in the fairy tale settings of olde (in a kingdom far far away during an indeterminable time), and yet others set in a technologically advanced future with a definite Sci-Fi feeling.

    [Novella Review] The Asylum For Fairy Tale Creatures By Sebastian Gregory & Raven’s Brew Coffee Wicked Wolf

    The Asylum For Fairy Tale Creatures takes the already pretty dark Grimms’ fairy tales and twists them even more, making them so horrific it’s no wonder the characters go mad. The main story being told is that of the traumatic experiences of Blood Red Riding Hood and her companions and their subsequent incarceration into an asylum with other fairy tale characters. This journey is used as a thread, weaving together several other tales, those of the asylum’s other fairy tale inmates and employees (though it’s hard to tell which is which at times), making this sort of a short story collection as well.

    [Book Review] Insanity By Cameron Jace & Alice Coffee Alice’s Blend

    Set in modern day, Insanity opens with the discovery of a dead body – a girl whose face has been sewn up into a disturbing grin. The girl is the latest victim of the serial killer known as the Cheshire Cat. Back at Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum, Professor Carter Pillar, a hookah-smoking philosophy professor turned serial killer himself (known as Pillar The Killer), has a plan to stop the Cheshire Cat and ropes fellow patient Alice Wonder, a nineteen-year-old girl with no memories who was institutionalized after killing a bus-load of her peers, into helping. And it just dissolves into madness from there.
