Torqued Tales: Twisted Fairytales

Twisted. That's what Torqued Tales is all about. Taking a familiar fairy tale and turning it a few degrees off center, making it something new. And sexy. The authors of Torqued Tales have taken some of our old favorites, such as Sleeping Beauty, the Little Red Riding Hood, and Pinocchio, and given them a romantic, sensual, and homoerotic slant. Sean Michael, BA Tortuga, Julia Talbot; all of your favorite authors are here, with stories that are as irreverent as they are faithful to tales we all know and love. CB Potts has given the Emperor's New Clothes a hilarious retelling, where two tailors of magical cloth give every man in sight a whole new lease on clothing. Kara Larson's The Nature of the Beast takes on Beauty and the Beast, Kiwi style. And Kiernan Kelly looks at Puss in Boots in a whole new light in The Master Cat. By turns rib-shaking funny and steamy hot, these fairy tales are not the morality plays we remember from our childhood. This light-hearted fantasy anthology will keep you turning the page, eager to get your Grimm on and see what the best Torquere authors can do with a little tradition, a lot of imagination, and healthy dose of heat.
