So Lovely So Grim

Once upon a time, there were women who made terrible choices.

Six fairy tales. Six women. Six different kinds of damnation.

From cursed resurrections to forced crowns, from blood-soaked revenge to transformations that erase the self, these retellings strip away the comfort of ‘happily ever after’ and expose the gothic horror that has always lived in fairy tales, the price of bargains made in desperation, the cost of love that consumes, and the terrible things we become when survival demands it.

These are not the sanitized stories you were told as a child. These are the ones where curses pass like infections, where rescue is another form of trap, where the only escape is to become the monster yourself.

For readers who always knew the original endings were a lie.
