5.0

This is a mixture of short stories for the horror, dark fairytalesq, who-dun-it, weird and grotesque. Most tales that all have a small twist to the end.

Entertaining, simply written, with imagery and prose such as "The Killer's chain saw was half as long as I was tall, and it roared like an earthquake as the blade spun round in a loop.", this collection concentrates on the importance of simply telling dark and grizzly tales (think of it as a modern fairytale collection with all the death and violence of the original tellings).

If you believe that teenage girls can triumph over serial killers, that you really better be careful about what you wish for, that even killers should be given a second chance etc. This collection of stories may just be for you.
