When I hear the word fairy tale, I envision something like this :

Maybe because I grew up reading stories like Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk, I think fairy tales should have a happy ending and a MEANING, however simple it may be.
Likewise, the words "Modern Fairy Tales" snagged me. Ooh! Some modern stories! Lets cuddle up on my bed and read! Best book ever! NOT. First of all, the word "modern" is a huge lie.
