I have an ongoing one right now. Tristan and Isolde Reloaded. You can find it for free at http://www.ana-calin.com/ 🙂 I hve around 15 chapters so far, but it’s moving forward fast
If you can find it… read proper, uncensored versions of The Grimm’s Fairy Tales… without all the Disney sugarcoating… also if you find it watch this horror-musical called The Lure. Which is a Polish movie about mermaids…the way mermaids are supposed to be
I love what Mercedes Lackey has done to many well known fairy tales, her Fairy Godmother series, her Elemental series, and The Fire Rose which is a stand alone but seems it must have inspired her to do the Elemental series, and her versions of Swan Lake, called the Black Swan and the Russian fairy tale the Firebird.
Gregory McGuire’s Oz themed series (Wicked + all the sequels thouigh Son of the Witch may be my favorite) as well as The Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Lost etc.
@Pamela he has done one called After Alice, he did a corrupted version of Cinderella, Mirror mirror was a Snow White loosely based version. The Wicked series are a more grown up take on Wizard of Oz.
Cinder – cinderella Scarlet – red riding hood Cress – rapunzel Winter – snow white They all belong to Marissa Meyer from the series of the lunar chronicles
Peas and Princesses by Aleese Hughes. It’s quick and fun, but definitely a little dark. I like that type of thing, though. I think her second book is supposed to come out soon, too. I read it through Kindle Unlimited. I think she also sells other editions on Amazon.
I don’t know if it’s a retelling so much as a nod to lots of common fairy tale themes but John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things springs to mind 🙂
Thanks. I’ll have to check it out !
Love this book!
The Princess Bride, Wicked, Mirror Mirror, Red as Blood(horror), Politically Correct Bedtime Stories (comedy)
Jackson Pearce is brilliant.

Ruby and The Beast by @Ditter

Robin McKinley’s Beauty. This is a favorite of mine. If you read it, I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do
Anything by Robin McKinley, really.
So true
Beastly

A Court of Thorns and roses- beauty and the beast
A Court of Mist and Fury- Hades and Persephone
The Child Thief by Gerald Brom was awesome. It is a very twisted version of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.
It’s a horror book so don’t read if you’re not into that stuff.
The 500 kingdoms series by Mercedes Lackey was great. Fantasy genre.
Spindle, spelled, of beauty and beast, the Lunar Chronicles, lost in a book…
Neil Gaiman has some good graphic novel retellings. One of them is called, “Spindle”. I can’t remember the other, atm.
It’s Hansel and Gretel, though I think I spelled it wrong.
Following, i love these too.

Stealing Beauty by @Jessica
Mechanics by Betsy Cornwall 😍
Sweetly by Jackson Pearce..that’s the only one I’ve read so far but any of his books would probably do
I said the same she is brilliant. Have you read Gregory Maguire? He did the Wicked books. Most of his are set around corrupted fairy tales too.
I have not!
@Pamela he has done one called After Alice, he did a corrupted version of Cinderella, Mirror mirror was a Snow White loosely based version. The Wicked series are a more grown up take on Wizard of Oz.
I feel like I have those on my list lol
Thursday by Catherine Storr is my favorite. It’s a children’s book but it’s a modern retelling of Tam Lin.
Following.
Cinder – cinderella
Scarlet – red riding hood
Cress – rapunzel
Winter – snow white
They all belong to Marissa Meyer from the series of the lunar chronicles
