This anthology collects fairy tale inspired short comics and original prose fairy tales by a variety of authors. As in any short story collection, some of the pieces are stronger than others, though overall the book is very enjoyable. Nearly all of the tales have a female main character, or multiple female leads. The highlight for me was "Bride of the Rose Beast" by Michelle "Misha" Krivanek, the story of a shepard's daughter who must marry a monster with a wonderful twist ending.
