Get Your Copy Blood Red Riding Hood (Zombie Fairy Tales #4) Crafted By Kevin Richey Released Through Digital Paper
received a free copy of this book for my honest review,
This is another installment in the Zombie Fairytales series and it definitely fits in well with the theme, I would actually give this one,if possible because it is so bloody and gorey and my personal reading tastes don't run that way, But due to originality I rounded up to four and not down to three, This story is a twist on the Red Riding Hood fairytale with the main casts of zombies actually being wolves, Apparently the zombie epidemic isn't isolated to humans but instead has spread to the forest animals, The woodsman in this tale isn't the hero that saves Red but becomes some kind of wolfzombie hybrid that terrorizes the family because of his undying love for Red.
But I loved how grandma handled things in the end, This tale is definitely bloody and gorey and full of horrors and if you like that type of read this is definitely for you.
Oh, man. This one hit me right in the feels, I honestly think I sobbed good and hard about the beginning of this story, With the wolves and the grandmother saving Red but not the huntsman, . . honestly, that was so unbelievably sad, I think this one might be my favorite so far, It was so amazing. This series has some of THE BEST zombie stories I've ever read, And I am loving comparing them to the original fairy tales,
I cannot wait to continue!! I just know I'm going to be SUPER SAD when I reach the end and don't have any more to read in this amazing series.
I enjoyed this one as much as the very first one about Cinderella, i love how the characters from the other stories keep showing up, this one was gory and I loved it, there was some surprises that I wasn't expecting either, great read.

About Zombie Fairy Tales:
Blood Red Riding Hood is the fourth in a series of short stories set in a dark fairy tale universe plagued by zombies.
Surreal and full of black humor, installments feature familiar childhood characters as they encounter a world of stark violence and horrorCinderella is worked to death before the ball, Pinocchio is made from children's corpses, and Little Red Riding Hood finds more than wolves in the forest.
The series features overlapping elements, characters, and places for a more immersive experience for the dedicated fan, but can also be read as standalone entries in any order.
Get infected now. my thoughts These books keep getting better and better, This one was far more descriptive then the previous ones I had read, It kept my attention through to the end and fit in well with the zombie/ fairytale theme, This one is based on the Little Red Riding Hood tale, Some of the things that take place in this book had turned my stomach, but that's what makes it so incredibly well written.
I have come to love these twisted fairytale stories and they are well worth the read, I know this is a set that I will gladly return to and read again in the future,
reason for reading I was given a copy of this book by the author in return for an honest review.
This book is part of a series retelling popular fairy tales with a zombie flavour in the mould of 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'.
As you would expect from the title, this is a new take on the story of Red Riding Hood, The cast of characters is pretty much the same, You have:
Red Riding Hood
Grandma
Red's Mother and Father
The Woodcutter
Some wolves
I think I'm correct in saying that the term zombie isn't actually used in the story.
There are various characters animated despite being in various states of decomposition, but they aren't identified directly either in the narration or by any of the characters as zombies.
For some reason I find this fact to be quite pleasing, The idea of a zombie apocalypse is, after all a very modern one, and I think it would have jarred with the fairy tale setting.
The story isn't a direct translation of Red Riding Hood, and so, is different enough to make it an interesting read.
The gore is often quite lightly skipped over so although it is unpleasant, and would make a shocking short film, it doesn't bog you down in the reading.
This is an interesting balance well maintained,
I have only read one other of these stories Zombie Cinderella, Both were enjoyable and I guess I will read more in the future, In fact I already have "Hansel and Gretel are Dead" waiting on my kindle, I've been reading horror stories for a long time and it is really difficult to impress me or create any type of visceral reaction, but Blood Red Riding Hood did.
Damn! There is one image in the
book I wont be getting out of my head for a while, This story clocks in at,K so it is a quick read, but a powerful one,
The writing is excellent and Richeys storytelling created suspense and an overall feeling of horror, The story follows some of the Little Red Riding Hood cannon, but he has recreated a whole new tale with unexpected twists.
This isn't just another zombie story,
Blood Red Riding Hood is clever and gruesome and I cant wait to try some of the other tales in this series.
.“dont screw with grandma” Sheep
sitelink ismellsheep. com/bo This is definitely the bloodiest story so far, and with elements of the original, though more loosely than others, I did like the ending though,
As someone who's not really into zombies, I wasn't sure I would enjoy these stories, but as a free boxset it was on offer when I bought it, I thought it was worth a look as I do love fairytales, and I wasn't disappointed.
They are both very different from, and yet contain very clear nods to the originals, All have zombie plague themes running through them, and you need to read through them in the boxset order as there are references to the earlier stories in the later ones.
These are definitely not for children, as they are very violent and often disturbing stories, but if you like fairytale retellings and/or zombies, this is definitely a set of short stories for you!
