 7 modernized fairy tales that differ in tone, some are contemporary and some futuristic. 

Some are fantasy and some Sci-Fi. Some are darker than others. 

The level of adherence to the fairy tale format also differs but they are all great in their own way and are rooted in compelling characters and relationships. 

Each story has a different narrator to suit the main character and tone.  

There's even a homage to Iain M. Banks, my second one this month.
