What if fairy tales finally became logical?

Unhappily After 3 is the third book in the Short Retellings for Adults series.

In this collection, famous fairy tales are stripped of romance, morals, and child-friendly lies. What remains are short, sharp stories where classic promises systematically fall apart the moment they collide with modern rules, expectations, and basic common sense.

With dry humor and contemporary logic, fairy tales finally get the treatment they deserve.

Inside you'll find retellings of Little Red Riding Hood (yes, again), Rapunzel, The Ugly Duckling, Beauty and the Beast, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Little Mermaid, and The Princess and the Pea, plus a few stories that drift a little closer to modern myth and horror.

Fortunately, you'll also meet the cheerful Miau the Cat, although the birds might not agree with that description.

What to expect: • Fairy tales for adults, with black humor and dry satire • Familiar stories derailed by modern logic • Short tales you can finish in one sitting • Themes like social rules, capitalism, consent, status, and human laziness • A collection that makes you laugh, then lingers a little too long

No morals. No magic fixes. Only fairy tales that get exactly what they deserve.
