Publisher's summary
For those who prefer a not-so-happily ever after . . . This short collection of horrible fairy tales from the twisted mind of Andrew Buckley features educational and slightly gruesome tales that teach important lessons about the persuasive powers of mermaids, the secret hobby of the yeti, and the deepest desires of your average ogre.
Pulled directly from the world of Thiside from Buckley’s popular novel, STILTSKIN, this horrible collection of fairy tales are sure to amuse, delight, and horrify in equal measure.

A delightful collection of irreverent fairy tales
New stories told in the style of the fairytales you grew up with but with tragic/humorous endings. The authors use of description is on point and I could easily picture the creatures in the stories. The narrator does a stupendous job at bringing these stories to life and I definitely recommend that you pick up your own copy.

Fantastic stories read fantastically
I loved the book, but Louis Taylor-Blake’s perfect voice elevates the six stories within. Fun and funny, dark and twisted. Brings me back to fairy tales of the 80s

Absolutely delightful on all fronts
This book is spectacular on both sides - the stories are charming, hilarious, utterly weird, and so fun and the narrator's voice and performance is just perfect. It's rare I slow down enough during the day to listen to an audiobook but this short collection was an excellent way to start my morning. All the stories are funny but my favourite is probably the one about the messy wizard - though the gnome who doesn't fit in was also hilarious. I love the absurdity of the tales and the unique turns of phrase that keep the stories just a little off-kilter. So fun. On the narration side - the way Louis Taylor-Blake encompassed the various voices was delightful.
