This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. What happens when fairy tales grow up—and stare straight into the heart of modern power? In this darkly enchanting collection, Michael A. Susko reinvents the classic talebook for the age of spin, spectacle, and soft authoritarianism. Here, glass slippers crack under economic inequality, witches rise from bureaucratic ashes, and genies grant the wishes of lobbyists. With a tone that's both sharply satirical and eerily magical, these stories pull familiar characters into unfamiliar territory—our own world, thinly veiled. Blending folklore, political parable, and literary magical realism, New Fairy Tales Are Coming reclaims myth not for comfort, but for confrontation. Whether it's a talking fish who's lost his polling base or a princess who leads a protest against palace walls, each tale challenges us to see the present through a funhouse mirror that reflects something all too real. These are stories for those who still believe in imagination—but no longer in happy endings by default.
