Do you ever wonder where your favorite disney characters originated? WELL DON’T haha

Seven books. Seven fairy tales. Hundreds of reasons to never trust a magical transformation.

This week on Book Slayers, we're diving headfirst into the twisted, grotesque, and strangely addictive world of Jasper Moore. We read ALL SEVEN of his grimdark fairy tale novellas—and let's just say our reactions could not have been more different.

Bonny was obsessed with the creativity, the darkness, and the absolutely bonkers body horror.

Betty? Not so much.

But one thing we absolutely agree on: these books are creepy as hell.

We're talking:

🖤 Twisted fairy tale retellings 🖤 Body horror that made us physically recoil 🖤 Uncomfortable transformations 🖤 Monsters that aren't always the villains 🖤 Which books worked for us—and which absolutely did not

If you've ever wondered what grimdark actually means, this episode is for you.

Grimdark is a subgenre of dark fiction where hope is scarce, morality is messy, and terrible things happen to characters on a regular basis. Think brutal worlds, flawed people, violence, horror, and stories that aren't afraid to make you uncomfortable.

Jasper Moore takes those grimdark elements and injects them straight into classic fairy tales, creating stories that are equal parts horrifying, fascinating, and deeply weird.

So grab your cursed glass slippers, ignore the ominous whispers in the forest, and join us as we rank, roast, and reluctantly admire one of the most unsettling collections we've ever read.
