Phenomenal piece of literature. I was astounded by how fantastic this was. I especially appreciated that it was very readable as an adult. I kinda wish I had read it as a child because I could see where I would have gotten different things out of it as a kid than as an adult. I'm so happy I decided to pick this up. Dark fairytales are for children too.
