This book is mean. This book is brutal. This book is angry and bitter and designed to tear your soul apart

I want to read this but I'm afraid it will hurt. But I love dark fairy tales.

Stone Mattress itself is online as a stand-alone short story if you want a preview..just google it. :)

Trigger warning on that story for gang rape, elder abuse and multiple murders.

Have you read the collection, "Red as Blood," by Tanith Lee?

Incidentally, today's A Softer World made me think of you. http://asofterworld.com/index.php?id=1155

When I was a kid, I read some real classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales. That was so gross, man.

That's the vibe she's going for.
