What if fairy tales had to obey modern logic?
In Unhappily After, classic fairy tales lose their magic, romance, and comforting lies. What remains are ultra-short, darkly satirical retellings for adults who suspect that happily-ever-after usually comes with paperwork.
Familiar stories unravel under modern expectations. Promises collapse. Logic intrudes. Consequences follow.
Magic doesn't fix structural problems.
Love doesn't override reality.
And "forever" turns out to be mostly administrative.
This collected edition combines Parts 1-3 into one volume, featuring dozens of compact, absurd, and relentlessly logical fairy tale retellings.
What to Expect
• Ultra-short flash fiction
• Dark humor and dry satire
• Familiar tales twisted by modern logic
• Subtle continuity and recurring figures
• Themes of bureaucracy, consent, capitalism, and moral laziness
No moral.
No comforting magic.
Just fairy tales getting exactly what they deserve.
