Description
The first collection of German cruelty in horror fairy tales contains twenty cruel tales that are always somewhat eerie to horror-like. ***** German fairy tales have a unique, unforced approach to horror. Experiencing fear and dread while reading them is both frightening and pleasurable. Especially when at the end of the tale, fear is overcome and balanced with a touch of ironic humor. ***** Many German fairy tales from the nineteenth century feature and repeat dark, violent motifs. Evil is not always punished, and good is not always rewarded. Rascals sometimes escape justice, thrive, while the innocent often suffer and perish. ***** However, fairy tale horror is almost never gratuitous; it reflects the age-old struggle between good and evil and serves as a warning that if one is not careful, something terrifying could come from somewhere.
