Fairy-Tales Fractured and Re-Made submitted by sdunav on June 27, 2016, 6:15pm This creepy twist on Sleeping Beauty and several other fairy tales (Rumpelstiltskin? Snow White with the wicked stepmother, for sure) has a queen rescuing a princess with the help of some dwarves. The artwork is incredible, the story has so many twists and plays with the tropes so much that I didn't know what to expect. I loved the ending, though.

Good submitted by zmclaugh on July 25, 2018, 5:05pm Gorgeous illustrations and new twists on old tales.
