Paperback. The twenty-five illustrated short stories in this collection are based on the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, which were sanitized in their time by reducing violence so they could be read to children. In Beyond Grimm, some stories are simple, others more thought-provoking, but all of them-by twisting known fairy tales to be darker, more amusingly gory, and more violent-restore for adults the fun of reading about fanciful characters who are demented, bloodsucking, and get the end they deserve. Twenty-five short stories based on Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, but darker and more violent for the horror genre reader. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About the Author
Kali Kahn lived from childhood through her high school years in Montpelier, Vermont, in an older house bathed in the natural light of many large windows and filled with visual art. Her happy place was sipping cocoa while drawing and dreaming by a roaring fire in the wood stove on cold wintry days. From a young age, she relished keeping her hands and mind busy designing, drawing, and engaging in imaginative play with whimsical props, objects, and toys. At bedtime, her mother read fairy tales, myths, and stories rich with elaborate illustrations and fanciful words. Kali's childhood education included a mix of local public schools and a few middle years in an alternative school with a focus on creative making and stage productions. At Montpelier High School, she was a regular in the art room as inspired by the beloved late artist and educator Barbara Austin-Hutchins. Kali spent her senior high school year enrolled in the Digital Media Arts Program at the Central Vermont Career Center where she explored diverse media and earned college credits under the engaging direction of Matthew Binginot (www.matthewbinginot.com/). Her post-secondary years at the Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts expanded her artistic and academic horizons under the guidance of professional artists such as Shanth Enjeti (www.shanthenjetiart.com/), who encouraged her to sharpen her skills and pursue her own unique vision. Kali's major influences include the luminous and detailed illustrations underpinning the animation of Hayao Miyazaki; the illustrated graphic novel series of Neil Gaiman; and animated series such as Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Kali currently resides in Leesburg, Virginia, where she works in a variety of media in her home-based art business.
