Fairy tales retold with an erotic edge, by the national be and the Beast, Puss n' Boots, and Sleeping Beauty, and refashions them into bedtime stories for adults only. I admit I'm not a big fan of sci-fi, so I'm biased. explicit sex scenes aside, the stories are fantastic reinventions of classic and not-so-familiar Fairy Tales.
Table of contents

And, I intentionally skipped the big shots like Tolkien and Angela Carter and Gregory Maguire in favor of hopefully spreading the word of some lesser-known titles. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

The Beautiful Mirror Story - Bedtime Stories - English Fairy Tales

The longer description: One of the most cinematic, atmospheric books of the last few years, the reader is transplanted directly into the strange and mysterious circus that appears without warning, only by night, and leaves town with the same suddenness. This book perfectly captures the dreamlike quality of fairy tales, complete with magic that is never quite explained.

In most books, this might be annoying and I'd want an explanation, but Morgenstern makes the air of mystery work. The one sentence description: a fairy tale that is less on the whimsical side and more on the historical side, it is a haunting rendition of "Sleeping Beauty" in which the "sleep" is induced by gas from concentration camps and the "dark forest" is a place of refuge from Nazis.

The longer description: This books jumps from past to present as the modern-day protagonist seeks to uncover her dead grandmother's startling past. It is never overly moralistic or saccharine, but rather paints a harsh, tragic slice of history. It also covers an under-explored area of the holocaust: the persecution of homosexuals as well as Jews.

Although the book is not exactly "light," it is avoids being bleak. It is an utterly captivating, clever spin on an old story. Expect this one to stay with you long after you read it. The one-sentence description: a modern day spin on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream but the four lovers have been condensed into three, it occurs in a park in San Francisco, Puck is terrifying, and the language is modern prose although somehow Adrian manages to make it just as beautiful as Shakespeare. The longer description: This book flawlessly moves between being funny, moving, heartbreaking, vulgar, sensual, and strange.

The fairy characters are the only ones that share similarities with Shakespeare; the rest are Adrian's own creations. The three protagonists ground and humanize the story, and Adrian's writing may make you want to laugh and cry at the same time laugh that writing is capable of being that good; cry because yours will probably never attain that level. I don't want to be biased and say this book is the best one on this list--because all of them are truly great--but, well, this book may be the best one on this list. I was hesitant to include Alice Hoffman on this list for two reasons.

The first is that she has many adult fairy-tale books; so it is difficult to chose just one. The second is that her books are very hit-or-miss: they're either great and beautiful or maudlin and overwrought.

Fiction for teens on up!

Practical Magic and The Probable Future are two of her best, and they both contain all the best parts of adult fairy tales: magical realism, curses that past through generations, and murder and mayhem. Like Hoffman, it was hard to pick one Gaiman book so I kind of cheated and picked two. These are two of his best, or at least two that would be good to start with if you've never read him before, and it's impossible to write a list of adult fairy tales without including Neil Gaiman.

The earliest version of this story appears in the VLS reader A king and queen have a daughter, but the queen dies. The dead mother bequeaths the girl a red calf that will give the girl whatever she wants. The king remarries a woman with three daughters, who is unfriendly to the girl. They also starve her, but she ignores the harsh treatment and goes to her calf for what she needs.

In response, the stepmother kills the calf, and the girl pines. The dead animal tells Rashin Coatie to place its bones under a stone and to continue making wishes. The girl does and time passes. At Christmas, the family leaves the girl behind when attending church and commands her to make dinner.

The girl despairs and begs the calf to help her. It does, and she goes to church in new clothes while the food cooks magically at home. At the church, a prince sees her, but she leaves before the end of the service. The sisters return home and tell Rashin Coatie of the beautiful woman everyone noticed, and she begs to join them, but they again reject her.

She again appeals to the calf and goes to the church wearing beautiful clothes while the calf prepares dinner. The prince and the people notice her presence for a second time. When she tries to depart on the third day, the prince tries to stop her by placing a guard at the back of the church. Rashin Coatie escapes but loses one of her slippers.

The bird also tells him of Rashin Coatie, and when he finds her, the girl runs away. She returns after the calf has given her new clothes, and the slipper comes to her foot of its own accord. The prince and the maiden marry. A king and queen have no children for many years. At last, the queen bears a child but does not want to baptize it until the king, who is away at war, returns.
