In the days when fairy tales were first spun, they weren't the sweet and cheerful stories we tell today. Back then, fairy tales were terrifying. They were a warning to the listener to stay out of the night, to keep away from the mystical and ignore the mysterious. Prepare to open a treasure box of the unusual and the macabre. Grim features some of today's best young adult authors sharing their own unique retellings of classic fairy tales from around the world. These talented writers, many of them New York Times bestsellers or award winners, put their own spin on these magical worlds. Ellen Hopkins Amanda Hocking Julie Kagawa Claudia Gray Rachel Hawkins Kimberly Derting Myra McEntire Malinda Lo Sarah Rees Brennan Jackson Pearce Christine Johnson Jeri Smith-Ready Shaun David Hutchinson Saundra Mitchell Sonia Gensler Tessa Gratton Jon Skovron.

Review

"An engaging and delightfully grotesque read....Grim is indubitably a modern, coming-of-age compendium for teens who face change and self-doubt daily." -VOYA

"The stories are quick, but packed with vivid worlds, macabre storylines, and characters you will love and hate.... If you are looking for a change of pace and don't mind short stories, definitely pick up a copy of this book!" -San Francisco Book Review
