:The stories we inherit feel like solid
ground. A world of clear moral lines where
kindness is rewarded, where evil
is punished, and where a lost slipper
leads to a throne.
But what if the original story
demanded a higher price? A price paid in
blood to make the slipper fit? What if the girl
in the red cloak was first tricked into
a feast of unspeakable cruelty? What if the
monsters in these stories gave a
name to a much more real and much
more common horror? And what if their
roots run deeper and spread wider than we
ever
