Dark twists on classic fairytale villains’ tales.
Imagine reacquainting yourself with the tales of your childhood, but through a lens that's shaded with intrigue and the complexities of villainy. These books offer a compelling exploration of well-known stories from the perspective of the so-called antagonists, providing depth to characters traditionally painted as purely evil. Their allure lies in the humanization of the Wicked Queen and Beast, turning black-and-white fables into a palette of greys that challenge your perceptions.
