Editor's Note
First is cannibalism (I would put any food you are currently eating down): A young woman is promised to a man by her father. She has a funny feeling about the man and acts on instinct. A bird tells her that he is a murderer and when she visits her groom to be. and his house for the first time, she later finds out that in fact her groom has no intention of ever marrying her and that he hatched a plan to kill her. He and his fellow robbers capture young girls, kill them and eat their flesh raw. She later sees them murder a young woman whilst hiding and manages to escape. Lucky thing.
The Robber Bridegroom
Words by Charlotte Marshall
The Juniper Tree
After brutally murdering her Stepson after resenting him for not being her only child, the woman in this fairy tale chops up his body, cooks him and feeds him to his own father in the form of a stew. Unfortunately, he wasn’t so lucky. Bet your Stepmum doesn’t seem too bad now. Before the Stepmother murders her Stepson, she abuses him. A quote from an early version of the tale says ‘And the Evil One filled her mind with this until she grew very angry with the little boy, and she pushed him from one corner to the other and slapped him here and cuffed him there, until the poor child was always afraid, for when he came home from school there was nowhere he could find any peace.” The Stepmother abused her Stepson as she was worried he would implicate her chance of her and her daughters inheritance.
The Girl Without Hands
A father is contacted by the devil and told to chop off his Daughters’ hands. And so he does. A hint of religion is seen in this one; evil seems to win.
A huntsman is ordered to bring back Snow Whites liver and lungs takes her to the forest, at only seven years old. Poor, old, innocent Snow.
Snow White
In the original tale of Snow White, the evil queen is forced to wear a pair of iron shoes heated on burning coals, in which she must dance until she dies as revenge.
Hansel and Gretel

Article: Once Upon A Time
02
We all love to hear a good story about revenge, but these are so dark and twisted they put any TV soap to shame… Cinderella
Unlike in the Disney series when the Stepsisters see redemption, in the old tales they have their eyes pecked out by birds and are forced to live their lives as bling beggar women.
The Wolf & The Seven Little Kids
In this tale, the wolf eats seven kids whole. The Mother attempts to cut open the wolfs stomach to save her kids, but she then seeks revenge by filling his stomach with stones. The wolf later drowns when he goes to the river to take a drink. Good fucking riddance.
Little Red Cap
Similarly to the Wolf and the Seven Little Kids some versions of the Little Red Cap story also end with a wolf’s stomach being cut open. The huntsman who finds the wolf cuts his stomach open to rescue the girl and her Grandmother (who were also swallowed whole). And again, they fill the stomach of the wolf with rocks he then drowns in a river.
Rumpelstiltskin
The end of Rumpelstiltskin can be read differently. Some say his actions constitute suicide by rage or suicide by accident. At the end of the tale Rumpelstiltskin doesn’t get his way and he gets so angry he tears his body in half. What a bloody psycho.
Bearskin
There are three Sisters and one man who made a deal with the devil (we have all heard that before). To see a lifetime of wealth and happiness he has to wear a bear skin as a cloak and never wash. He shows kindness to a stranger who promises one of his three Daughters hand in marriage. He meets the Sisters and the elder two are disgusted and repulsed by him and refuse his hand in marriage. However, the youngest agrees to marry him when he returns in three years (once his seven years is over). The two elder Sisters mad that their younger sister has a handsome and wealthy man for the rest of her life and they have nothing that they both kill themselves. One drowns herself, whilst another hangs herself from a tree. The moral of the story – never judge a book by its cover and be happy for your Sisters.
(Little Red Riding Hood)
In Hansel and Gretel, the children are deserted in the forest after their Stepmother convinces their Father that they would be better off without an extra two mouths to feed. Welcomed by a witch into her home, whose only desire; is to entice and kill the children. This shows the true innocence of children who happily walk into the trap.

Hi Jess, That’s fine, sorry for not getting back to you its been a hectic week! I’m drawing something Hansel and Gretel related, will that work for you? Rachel That’s great! Cant wait to see. Jess

Hey jess! hope all is well... for part of my final year we’re working with Stack magazines ( http://www.stackmagazines.com/ ) and have created a magazine aimed at male young professionals and graduates which aims to bring the fun back into reading. It’s going to have short stories- fiction and non fiction, interactive games and poetry included and was wondering if this would be something you’d be interested in maybe getting involved with? ie) graphics, illustrations, artwork etc.Obviously if u don’t have time to commit to doing visuals that’s absolutely fine, but if we gave you a a poem from one of our contributors you could have free creative reign over it to do what you would like? We have opportunity to actually get the mag published through stack magazines so obviously all art work would be credited etc. let me know what you think.. Like i said before no worries if not we just all really like your work! Thanks Hi Jess! That sounds amazing, I’d love to be involved if you keep me up to date and send me stuff I could send you some ideas and you can decide if you like it or not? Thank you for thinking of me! Loves x Hi jess! sorry to keep you out the loop on the magazine, we’ve just been trying to figure out content etc! for our first issue we’re having a section on fairytales as research has shown more and more men are reading classic fairytales and taking hidden meaning from them.. We were wondering if you could take your favorite fairytale and create an illustration which shows off your style ( which can also relate to our male readers) We are printing through a Risograph printer - I’ll attach how our aesthetic is hoping to look and examples of Risograph prints... (PICTURES OF RISOGRAPH) oh and also these are some graphic designers/illustrators we’ve been inspired by just so you get a feel of the aesthetic! - Rude http://www.thisisrude.com/ Jim Stoten http://www.jimtheillustrator.co.uk/ Camille Walala http://camillewalala.com/ Hi Jess, sorry just seen this! I’d love to do a little red riding hood drawing if you’d be interested in that? Definitely a lot of dark messages there and it’s a good one from a design perspective too let me know if that works for you x Just a heads up we’ve finalised risograph printing btw and that only uses two tone colour palette. So you can just draw it in black and white and we can digitally edit the colours if that’s easier smile emoticon Can’t wait to see! X Ok, cool - one of my tests is full colour so I’ll send you that later on today as well and you can see if it’s what you’re looking for x
