A WICKED COLLECTION OF HAPPILY NEVER AFTER STORIES

Time to sit back, pour yourself a bowl of semen-spewed porridge and reminisce in the most perverse collection of Grimm's fairytales ever told. Read all your childhood favorites with a more splendidly sordid twist. Revisit Hansel and Gretel as they fall into a diabetic coma after ingesting an entire sugar-coated house; see who wins the race within the sexual escapades of the Tortoise and the Hare. Witness the patronage of Mary and her Little Lamb enlisting in Vietnam, or the series of decapitation moments Rapunzel gets into with those long locks of hers.
Ever wonder what became of the seven dwarves after Snow White married the prince? Or how Pinocchio's wooden nose fared him through his adulthood? How Rip Van Winkle avoided the age limit on alcohol purchases?
With wacky, blood-splattering illustrations of child-eating witchcraft and half-starved, sleeping princesses with their rescuing bro-jock boyfriends, Erik Bergstrom's latest creation is sure to be a new bedtime favorite. A sort of warped homage to the original uncensored Grimm's fairytales, there is no detail left without some hilarious, morbid anecdote. So make sure to snuggle up and tuck yourself in with this cleverly crafted, soon-to-be classic collection.
A non-nightmare-filled sleep is not guaranteed.
