Summary

When it comes to fairy tales, there are plenty of things that go bump in the night. Things so morbid and grotesque, so sinister and diabolical, they haunt your imagination; warnings from generations past that still manage to terrify.

In 2013, authors came together for the annual Project REUTSway writing competition, penning their own interpretive twists on stories we’re all familiar with. Seventeen were chosen, bringing twenty-five new versions to life. From The Brother’s Grimm to Hans Christian Andersen and beyond, these tales are not the ones you grew up with. They are, however, Fairly Twisted Tales for a Horribly Ever After. Dare to find out what happens when “once upon a time” ends in the stuff of nightmares?

First, we fed your blood thirst with “Bloody Ever After.” Then, we showed you the ugly side of death with “The Ugly Dead.” Then, we brought you to hell and back with “Fairy Tales from Hell.” And finally, we changed your perspective on happily ever after with “Shifty Stories to Read in the Dark.”

Now, it’s time to give you what you’ve waited all month for: the finalists for this year’s chilling, thrilling season of Project REUTSway. In alphabetical order. Without revealing the names of the stories that have been chosen.

What this means for you, if your name is on this list, is that you’re STILL in the running to win it all. You just have to wait until January 31st to find out if you’re a multiple story winner, a single story winner, or a runner up whose story will be featured in full as part of our Grimm and Chilling Tales blog series (Coming to the REUTS blog in February, 2014)!

If you’re not on this list, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for being a part of Project REUTSway. When we embarked on this journey, we had no idea what was going to happen. The outpouring of talent and enthusiasm we experienced was both exciting and humbling, and we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that choosing only a few finalists was probably the most difficult thing we’ve had to do all year.

Thank you for sharing your time, your energy, and your gloriously twisted imaginations. We wish you all the happiest endings imaginable.

Sincerely,

The Project REUTSway Team
