The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror by Mallory Ortberg
This collection of darkly mischievous stories based on classic fairy tales is adapted from the beloved “Children’s Stories Made Horrific” series. Sinister and inviting, familiar and alien all at the same time, The Merry Spinster updates traditional children’s stories and fairy tales with elements of psychological horror, emotional clarity, and a keen sense of feminist mischief. Register with your email address to receive discussion questions for The Merry Spinster and a curated list of read-alike titles. Registration required.
