Even Grimmer Tales
Even Grimmer Tales: Not for the Faint-Hearted | Valerie Volk
2 posts | 1 read
Adult fairy tales not for the faint-hearted, indeed! Valerie Volk has transported and adapted many of the classic Brothers Grimm tales into a modern context, demonstrating that the "real" can sometimes be more bizarre and horrific than the imaginary. With witty prose pieces to set the scene and Leszek Hermanowicz's clever drawings to enhance the mood, each poem becomes a tour de force, demonstrating how these tales still have relevance today. The Brothers would certainly approve!

Yup, this was bad. The only good thing about it was the distraction it provided - being lost in thoughts of “oh this is so bad, wtf?!” is much better than the constant thoughts of coronavirus. #coronavirusreadathon #covid19readathon #quarantinereadathon #booked2020 #covercrush #thisiswhyyoudontjudgebookabytheircovers #exceptthisisobkectivelyabadcover #soishouldhaveknown

Don‘t ask me why I‘m drawn to this based on the cover. I just am. My psyche doesn‘t know how to handle things right now.😅 (& for everyone wondering, I am okay, just feeling all sorts of weird and anxious) #covercrush #booked2020
