Troll's Eye View: A Book of Villainous Tales edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, 200 pages


This is a collection of short stories and poems featuring the viewpoints of the bad guys of fairy tales. With Rumplestilskin, the witch from Rapunzel, Trolls, the giant's wife from Jack and the Beanstalk, and various others, this is a deliciously dark collection. I've always been one who rooted for the bad guys in stories, and I've always loved the original Grimm's fairy tales, so this was a great read for me. If you like your fantasy and fairy tales, dark, creepy, and not always a happy ending, pick up this book at once.
