About this listen
You think you know these stories, don’t you? You are wrong. You don’t know them at all.
Twelve tales, 12 dangerous tales of mystery, magic and rebellious hearts. Each twists like a spindle to reveal truths full of warning and triumph, truths that free hearts long kept tame, truths that explore life...and death.
A prince has a surprising awakening.... A beauty fights like a beast.... A boy refuses to become prey.... A path to happiness is lost...then found again.
New York Times best-selling author Soman Chainani respins old tales into fresh fairy tales for a new era and creates a world like no other. These stories know you. They understand you. They reflect you. They are tales for our times. So listen, if you dare.

Critic reviews
"Terrifying, chilling, unexpected and glorious. A must-read for any fairy tale devotee who wants to view classic stories through a new lens." (Medium)
"Sly, subversive and full of teeth - Chainani's reimagining of classic fairy tales is an unsettling homage that transports its readers through tales both horrifying and humorous, sweet and scary, and, of course…beastly and beautiful." (Roshani Chokshi, New York Times best-selling author of The Gilded Wolves)
"These stories cut straight to the heart and will leave you begging to stay in their shadows just a few pages longer. Prepare to rethink all those happily-ever-afters...and love every minute of it." (Alexandra Bracken, number one New York Times best-selling author of Lore and the Darkest Minds series)
