About this ebook

What if fairy tales finally became logical?

This is a free sample booklet of Unhappily After, a collection of short, satirical fairy-tale retellings written for adults. Familiar stories collide with modern logic, dry humor, and a complete lack of mercy.

In this free booklet, you’ll find four complete stories from Books 1–3 of the Unhappily After series:

• Familiar fairy tales stripped of romance

• Absurd logic and short stories that linger
