In the grand tradition of the Brothers Jacob and Wilhelm, some of the today's finest fantasy and horror writers have created their own brand-new fairy tales--but with a decidedly darker twist. Fearie Tales is a fantastical mix of spellbinding retelling of classic stories such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, and Rumpelstiltskin, along with unsettling tales inspired by other children's classics, all interspersed with the original tales of their inspiration. These modern masterpieces of the macabre by Neil Gaiman, Garth Nix, Ramsey Campbell, Joanne Harris, Markus Heitz, John Ajvide Lindquist, Angela Slatter, Michael Marshall Smith, and many others, and are illustrated by Oscar-winning artist Alan Lee.… (mere)

Nice collection of short stories. ( )
  ElentarriLT | Mar 24, 2020 |
Basically what it says on the tin. Old Grimm stories, translated and not Disneyfied, bracketing new Grimm-inspired stories by authors including Neil Gaiman, Michael Marshall Smith, Tanith Lee, and Brian Hodge. Robert Shearman’s take on Hansel and Gretel was quite creepy, and the volume ends with a bang with John Ajvide Linqvist’s story of a household spirit who will ensure a family’s prosperity … for a small price.

I received a free copy of this book from Edelweiss.

Fearie Tales: Stories of the Grimm and Gruesome is a collection of frightening short stories inspired by fairy tales. The fairy tales are re-imagined in a modern setting, but they’re just as terrifying and gruesome as the original Grimm stories.

Many of the stories are inspired by the same fairy tales: Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Hansel and Gretel came up a few times. Each author puts a different spin on the story. Other authors chose to seek inspiration outside of the Grimm stories, and chose folk and fairy tales from other parts of the world.

“Come Unto Me,” a story by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, is a terrifying story based on the tomte of Swedish folklore. Tension builds throughout the story, leading to an ending that is both ambiguous and horrifying.

“The Silken Drum,” written by Reggie Oliver, is another standout. A man rents out his cottage to a Japanese woman and her son, and while she’s quite charming, she’s also a little bit… off.

“The Silken People,” by Joanne Harris, is a cautionary tale, in the tradition of the original fairy tales. A girl wants to see the leader of the Silken People, the Lacewing King, though her one-eyed nurse warns her away from him. She doesn’t listen.

This book is a very entertaining read, though you may want to sleep with the lights on afterwards.

Rating: 4 Gnomes out of 5

In the early years of the nineteenth century, German brothers Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm set out to collect folk stories from across Europe in an attempt not only to reflect a German cultural identity in such tales but also to preserve stories that for centuries had been handed down through the generations in the oral tradition.

This had resulted in differing versions of these tales existing from region to region (especially in France), and the Brothers Grimm not only gathered these stories into a coherent manuscript for the firs time - after listening to friend, family members, and story tellers, and transcribing the tales they were told - but they also allowed fragments of the old religious beliefs to continue to survive through the telling of these stories.
