Just what kind of happy goes into “happily ever after?” As children, it was enough that Pinocchio got to be a real boy and that Red wasn’t eaten by the wolf. As adults, we have a slightly different perspective. Being a real boy means having boy parts, and being eaten by someone big and bad doesn’t mean quite the same thing it once did.
Ever wonder what mermaids do with the swimmers they seduce? Or why a dragon might prefer a castle-guarded princess to a nice, easy field of sheep? What if your fairy godmother wasn’t circumspect in what wishes could be granted, or if that dainty little fairy had a much bigger appetite than one might guess?

A fun read. I enjoyed exploring various fairy tales through the lens of erotica and various types of parings by a number of different authors. There's a little in here for everyone. My favorites were Geppetto Falls Off the Wagon by Matthew Nadelhaft, Demon in the Well by Claryssa Berg, To Market by Elizabeth A. Schechter, and Red and the Wolf by Kailin Morgan (which has me really looking forward to her forthcoming novella, Wolf of Autumn, which is also about werewolves).
