The Unusual Fairy Tale Books For Adults

By Celia Hall


Anyone can find very unusual fairy tale books for adults at any store. The older crowd loves a great reading just like their younger peers. Anytime a story can make you roar with laughter or shudder with fear then the writer has done his/her job well. The updated versions take a tip from the past and they also offer food for thought.

The original stories presented more of a dark gloomy image that was very hard for young people to take. Hansel And Gretal, The Frog King, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella and Rumpelstiltskin were stories that had many people sleeping with the light on. In today's world these stories have been edited to satisfy the little ones who enjoy a happy bedtime story.

A troll who threatens people is not very pleasant for someone young but adults seem to love this character. It is not often that such a pretty lady is ordered to give up her first child to a stranger who comes in the night. The mature person really enjoys a story about blackmail and kidnapping since it helps them to escape the boredom of everyday life.

The lead character is not much to look at but he is very persuasive. He also uses psychology on the young woman in order to get what he wants and this is something that many mature people can identify with. This story tells that nothing is free and no one does a favor without wanting something in return. It also sheds light on possible cannibalism since it is not clear as to why he wants the baby.

If you watch the Walt Disney version of Cinderella then you will leave the room with a perfect smile on your face. But chills will go down your spine if you read the original story. The mature audience who like the original writing are seduced by the true plot line which deals with stolen property and attempted murder.

Physical as well as mental abuse happens to the main character and there are no singing animals to help her. Her stepmother is a thief and possible murderer who has withheld Cinderella's inheritance. Grown ups who read this story prefer the original script since it is more true to life.

Someone who has just left the teen years will like the story of Hansel And Gretal. This is a fun story about murder, child abandonment and robbery. There is often a chuckle on the mature person's face when he/she reads the part where the woman is pushed into the oven. Many people would like to update this story further by making social services appear at the parent's home.

In today's world fairy tale books for adults are also turned into x-rated movies. There is a certain girl who is very popular with the adult crowd when she entertains the seven dwarfs. These stories are fun to read and they challenge everyone in a very intense way. In the end there is nothing wrong with reading these stories since they are only fiction after all.
