DescriptionJohn Kenyon - Grimm Tales  Amid the schmaltzy music, happy endings and cutesy-poo renderings of fairy tales so prevalent in our sanitized, germ-free, oh-so-politically-correct society today we forget that at the core of most time-honored "children's tales" was a heart of darkness. Dancing tea pots, really? How about Cinderella's step sisters cutting off their toes and heels with a butcher knife trying to fit their feet in the silver slipper? The stories in Grimm Tales reflect the forgotten horror of the dark metaphors of the fabled brothers a whole lot more accurately than Disney ever did. This book is a cavalcade of: a drug addled, scheming top candidate for the world's worst mom; a jive talkin' down at the heels pie-eyed piper hot on the trail of a con man called Big Daddy and his harem of 'ammys; a hapless sad sack who thinks a magic trunk can save him in the end; a hot kid uncertainly on his way up a deadly ladder of crime led astray by a girl called Bobby who finds out it all ends in fire; a blackbirder who meets the wrath of Mother Africa; sunlight, bone fishing and a bloody flounder; long pig and gingerbread men; a PI who by his name alone should have known how it was going to work out; a guy named Gato who defines work boots perfectly; a deadly Pidgeon; thigh high boots, pole dancing and a cool cat; a serenade to stained couches and bacon; hackers, elves and a man named Skyler; a perambulator of death; tattoos, muriatic acid; a pissed off spinner of gold and, finally, a man named Soldier who has a set of rules.
