Twisted fairy tales for the contemporary world

Laura Dockrill reshapes familiar fairy-tale material into a collection of stories and poems populated by modernized figures, ghouls, and monsters. The source points to new versions of “The Princess and the Pea” and “Hansel and Gretel,” placing recognizable folklore alongside stranger imagined worlds. With dark humor and horror foregrounded, Echoes approaches the fairy-tale tradition through unsettling contemporary variations rather than straightforward retellings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in dark reworkings of classic fairy tales
  • Fans of contemporary fantasy with horror elements
  • Readers who enjoy collections that combine short fiction and poetry
