I am your hostess Ana Karenina.
Once upon a time, fairy tales were for
children—but not any more.
In some of today’s
most acclaimed fantasy I 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 entertainment
sure to appeal to adults.
