In a Glass Grimmly
This book is the tale of two children: a boy named Jack, and a girl named Jill. Yes, they do fall down a hill. And yes, Jack does break his head wide open. But there is more than that . . .
There is a beanstalk. There are giants. There might even be a mermaid or two. This story is terrifying. It is revolting. It is horrible. It is the most horrible fairy tale you will ever hear. Also, it is beautiful. Not sweet. Not cute. Beautiful—like the gray and golden ashes in a fireplace. Or like the deep russet of a drying stain of blood.
And, best of all, it is true.
That’s right . . .
Fairy tales are awesome again!

Reader, beware!
Warlocks with dark spells, hunters with deadly aim, and bakers with ovens retro-fitted for baking children lurk within these pages.
But if you dare . . .
Follow Hansel and Gretel as they walk out of their own story and into the wilds—where magic, terror, and a little bit of humor shine like white pebbles lighting the way. It may be frightening, and it’s certainly bloody but, unlike those other fairy tales you know, these ones are true. Once upon a time, you see, fairy tales were awesome!
In this mischievous and utterly original series, Hansel and Gretel and a host of other curious fairy tale characters walk out of their own stories and into other classic Grimm–inspired tales. Fairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive—the characters that populate these strange and wonderful stories are about to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after.
