This book started out bad for me – with an author’s note in which she makes fun of the original Grimm’s Little Red Riding Hood.Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the girl with the unfortunate name and the inability to tell the difference between her grandmother and a member of a dif...
Quite honestly, I liked the idea of this collection more than I liked the stories. I did appreciate the humor and the fact that Velde did address the issues she'd always had with the Little Red Ridinghood story in its varied incarnations. I actually agree with her on many points. However, I think a ...
The author’s name is so cool. Too bad the book she wrote wasn’t great.Basically the book is a collection of short stories of Little Red Riding Hood. Most of them are filled with satire. The concept of it was truly interesting unfortunately her writing is drab. Nothing of it was interesting. Her idea...
Apart from the foreward, where she implies with (mock?) scorn that cross-dressing is scandalous and grannies can't have fulfilling sexual relationships (and pretends to be unaware of the power of the archetype, the very power that allows her the freedom to undertake the book she just wrote) this is ...

Cloaked in Red is a collection of retellings, each short story attempting to take a different look into the possibilities of Little Red Riding Hood's tale which in itself although a classic is full of pit falls.It is to be expected that some of the stories are better then others and I will say that ...
This book got my back up from the start, by opening with an introduction that made fun of the Red Riding Hood story in particularly lame and stupid ways. First of all, don't try to be funny if you don't know how (thinking about the VVV books I've read, humor is a weak point for her). Second, isn't i...
