Red as Blood, or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer
Red as Blood, or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer: Expanded Edition | Tanith Lee
3 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
What if Snow White were the real villain and the "wicked queen" just a sadly maligned innocent? What if awakening Sleeping Beauty would be the mistake of a lifetime -- of several lifetimes? What if the famous folk tales were retold with an eye to more horrific possibilities? Only Tanith Lee -- "Goddess-Empress of the Hot Read" (Village Voice) could retell the world-famous tales of the Brothers Grimm (and others) as they might have been told by the Sisters Grimmer! This special edition, put together for the 30th anniversary of the original edition, adds a new Grimmer fairy tale written especially for this volume!

Finished this book a day before the readathon starts. Ahead of schedule!

Really loved this one. These retellings are dark, brilliant, and feel very original.

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 3y

My book recommendation for the day. Ive had a copy of this with this cover since I was in 9th grad. The book jacket of mine still has a sticker on it with my locker combination for my school locker that year. Tanith Lee can seem a bit over-written at times to an adult but in 9th grade i thought she was a genius. If read with the right fairy tale sense of mind these shorts stories in this book are still darkly fun reads.
