Snow White, Blood Red

"Once upon a time, fairy tales were for children--but not any more. In Snow White, Blood Red some of today's most acclaimed fantasy authors present stories that evoke the spirit of classic fairy tales, but are decidedly for grown-ups. Here you will find magical tales of enchantment and delight, but also stories with a dark, sinister edge in which heroes and heroines are flawed and fallible, fairies and fey beings pursue their own wicked schemes, love lists toward lust, words and actions are weapons that draw blood, and almost no one lives happily ever after. Full of whimsy and wickedness, these are fairy tales that have outgrown the nursery and offer entertainments sure to appeal to adults."--Jacket.
