3.0
Book #76 for 2018
Book Bingo Square: A Fairytale Retelling
GenreLand: October - Weird
When I went looking to see what other source material I should read before finishing Goss's book, I found this story on her website. It's a retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood." Sort of.
I'm not sure what to take away from this story. Well, obviously, men are pigs. Wolves. Whatever. But this story kinda flipped the "stay on the path, little girl" message. But in other ways kinda didn't. And then there were other messages that I couldn't quite suss out. Goss herself admits that she's not sure what this story means, so....
It's an interesting little tale, though, with some fun use of language. And it's very dark and disturbing.
