About this deal

Anxious people are resourceful, they need to know how to keep the sea of panic at bay so they do not drown. They read less like important mantras to tie together the collection and more like Gill couldn’t find different ways to say the same thing. What if I told you, the step sisters struggled with insecurities, body image issues and were trying to keep up with societal standards of perfection and that jealousy is not a inherent trait? I enjoyed the way Gill kind of climbs into these characters in the stories, whether they are villains or heroes, and enables the reader to see them in a different perspective.

Maybe magic ends with me and it will never cross your path, but I want you to remember that survival is an art. And now she knew how important it is for a woman to be beautiful, as it is the only currency she truly had in this world, she became even more bitter. It's too bad because many of the poems near the beginning of this compilation are solid, strong takes on known stories. It was wonderful to read this beautiful and creative writing, as they are a different angle on my favourite stories from childhood. What I loved about the book is how each character had a story that show them flawed and human, breaking the unrealistic standards.Bringing the old into the new, this modernised take is sure to captivate lovers of these timeless tales.

So instead I will leave Fierce Fairytales off my gifting list and be conscious of the rhetoric around me that all the lovely children in my life (none of which are my own) may be subject to on any given day. Some phrases and ideas are repeated in a few of the works, which I may not have noticed as much if I didn’t read the collection together. In these short stories and poems you’ll find well known fairytales with insights into characters, backstories and different endings. Her work has appeared in Literary Orphans, Agave Magazine, Gravel Literary Journal, Monkeybicycle, Foliate Oak, MusePiePress, Dying Dahlia Review, The Rising Phoenix Review, Eunoia Review, Corvus Review, After The Pause and elsewhere.Along with the writing are illustrations done by the author that accompanies each piece which was gorgeous. Imagine fairytales where the line between heroes and villains are blurred, where there is violence in supposed Prince Charming’s, and where the girl is independent, brave and smart- and can fight her own battles against monsters. And after the prince is thrown out, the moon dragon and the princess continue to share the day and night and live happily ever after.
