Hans & Greta: a Twisted Fairy Tale Novella
by Nicki Elson
This is a retold fairy tale about Hansel and Gretel for adults (not children), and it's unlike anything you've read with zombies tied into the story we all know.
Hans wants to save his father's business, so he has to "marry" a woman for her money, but his fiance is not exactly a catch and gets them lost in the woods. After a long night, they come across a house where a lonely, senile woman lives. Hans soon finds himself stuck in a cage. For days, he tries to get out with no success. He manages to pry bricks out of the back wall, exposing a hole to a room. Inside the room is a young woman with cropped hair...Greta.
This story is slow, but I enjoyed the hints from other fairy tales in Han's and Greta's pasts.
The subtitle is accurate. This is definitely s dark version with a strange twist.
