Stranger things happen

Fairy tales with a pervasive sense of unease. More grim than Grimm. And while Link is capable of turning a phrase I kept looking for some sort of internal logic at work in each of the stories. It's funny how so many of the reviews apologize for their mediocre ratings. There is a sense that each story hints at something larger - or maybe we're just programmed to look for the metaphor in fairytales. I just couldn't unravel it and as a result each short story felt unresolved and meandering.
