Wow, this is not the usual book of fairy tales. Most of them are dark and chilling, but also humorous and quirky. In these fairy tales, the Little Match Girl is strung out, Cinderella's step-sisters are blinded, and Bluebeard's wife finds out her husband is a murderer. Lies, Knives and Girls in Red Dresses is not for the faint of heart but it is entertaining.
