Overview

Based on the wildly popular TikTok series, F*cked Up Fairy Tales presents modern retellings of some of the strangest and darkest stories humans had the audacity to invent. Inspired by sources across the world, "Cosbrarian" Liz Gotauco conjures gossipy animals, homicidal royals, doomed commoners, and shape-shifting beaux--all reckoning with complicated, adult problems that "Disney versions" have sanitized. In entertaining asides, Gotauco offers insight into the stories' contested origins, spills deliciously weird details about fairy tale authors like Madame de Aulnoy and the Brothers Grimm, and explores timeless themes that have long tickled the human subconscious, from accidental bestiality ("So . . . You Married an Animal") and catastrophic marriages ("Crappily Ever After") to the vexed question of what to do with your murderous lindworm child ("F*cked Up Family Trees"). Sexy, disturbing, and outrageous, with stylish, distinctive illustrations, F*cked Up Fairy Tales celebrates the astonishing diversity of the oral tradition, reaffirming our universal love for a story that's messy as f*ck.
