Early Reviewers

An illustrated collection of twenty-five short stories and poems based on the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, which were sanitized in their time, reducing the violence so they could be read to children.

In Beyond Grimm, some stories are simple, others more thought-provoking, but all of them—by twisting known fairy tales to be darker and more amusingly gory and violent—restore for adults the fun of reading about fanciful characters who are demented, bloodsucking, and get the end they deserve.
