Este es otro de mis libros de la racha de cuentos de hadas modernos que llevo últimamente, pero es bastante mas crudo que otros que he leído recién. Aún así, es realmente hermoso y uno de los mejor escritos que he encontrado, tanto por su lenguaje como por su estructura. Me recuerda mucho a The Snow...

That book spins a tale so different and yet similar to Snow White and Rose Red. I'm not sure to call it a retelling of the fairy tale because the book sets itself so completely apart from a child's bedtime reading. It's not really horror more as morbid details and icky subjects and themes. The only ...

Though I thought Tender Morsels was a fantastically-written and unbelievably well-imagined story, my first instinct is to throw my hands up in warning at any teenager (or - in fact - any adult) who might come strolling along in search of just another typical fairytale retelling. Because that's what ...

Whenever I go on vacation, I like to hit at least one local bookstore and buy something, just to support them. Tender Morsels was a book I bought at a bookstore that specialized in childrens’ literature, namely because the premise sounded intriguing, and I expected a nice, breezy, entertaining read...

I need to think about the rating and review for novel. It has me flummoxed in a way I haven’t been over a book before. While I was trawling Melbourne bookstores for a copy (which was a saga in itself) I had a discussion with a bookseller about Tender Morsels. In passing, I mentioned the brouhaha it ...

Once upon a time, when I was in that twilighted summer before college and after high school, my fiends and I rented a cabin together on the north shore of Lake Superior, just past the Silver Creek tunnel. The place was run by some kind of extended family - an aunt, a cousin, an in-law - of the origi...

I have no idea why this book is considered Young Adult, as it should be classified as just Fiction. There are some children who grow into teenagers and young women, but there's more to it than that. I saw this book mentioned as not for young children with some of the sexual content and there are q...

Very creepy but amazing. It was very disturbing in some places but I thought it was great. More detailed review later...

I'm in awe. I'm going to just have to leave it there for a while.***For years I had Into the Forest on my TBR list. Since 1996 when it was released. Something long ago had told me that it was "a feminist fairy tale" and it was about two sisters in the woods. Maybe I was fated to be disappointed,...

Tender Morsels is dark and disturbing... and a fairy tale. The Brothers Grimm would be proud. The story has it all - fairy godmothers, princesses, transmogrification, violence, joy, sadness, death, babies, magic and murder. It is not for the faint of heart. This is one of the most beautifully writte...
