This is by far my favorite short I've read so far from Khaw. But not perfect.
You want a good fairy tale? I mean a good one, that has not been whitewashed by the Victorians. One that still has the blood of the old tales, told around the fire, long after the kids have fallen asleep? Then check out this Tor Original horror short story.
All I will say, this being a short story, and not wanting to spoil it, is if you hate the prince in the beginning, you are probably feeling what you should be.
Go read it now. It's free.

I adore this writer's work! So much so, that on her goodreads page, I was looking for MORE of it. I saw this title and did a search. I found this short story in the TOR.com 10-yr anthology. So now I have even MORE writers and stories to discover!
This is gruesome and justice and just the right amount of cheek.

This was just ok for me. It was an interesting idea...but it just wasnt quite enough for me to really enjoy it.
