A Collection of short stories on the theme of familiars and variations of well known fairy tale characters. Red Riding Hood, Ghosts, vampires, demons, alien monsters, the list is endless, the 23 stories contained in this collection represent merely a fraction of those weird creatures, but each has a different take on the standard stories you heard as a kid. These are tales for grown-ups, for people who want to know more about these characters from a more mature, yet still darkly playful, viewpoint.
