A collection of darkly mischievous stories based on classic fairy tales. 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. Unfalteringly faithful to its beloved source material, it also illuminates the unsuspected, and frequently alarming, emotional complexities at play in the stories we tell ourselves and each other as we tuck ourselves in for the night.
