I've already read a few of the stories in this book but I still have a good chunk of them to read.

From the back cover:
"Once upon a time..." So begin the classic fairy tales that enthralled and terrified us as children. Now, in their third critically acclaimed collection of original fairy tales for adults, World Fantasy Award-winning editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling brings us twenty-one new stories by some of the top names in literature today.

Joyce Carol Oates, Gahan Wilson, Gene Wolfe, Tanith Lee, Neil Gaiman--these are but a few of the accomplished literary sorcerers who have gathered here to remold our timeless myths into more sensuous and disturbing forms. Like the fabled ruby slippers, there is powerful magic here. Rich witches in trendy resorts cast evil spells...beautiful princesses age and wither in sleeping worlds...terrible beasts reside beneath flawless skin.

I did not really like many of the stories in this book. After reading quite a few, I would think: "That's it? That's the end? What's the point?" I almost didn't finish reading all of the stories. But because they were all by different authors, I decided to give each story a fair chance. And I am glad that I did. I really liked two of the stories near the end of the book: "The Fox Wife" and "The Printer's Daughter."
