A princess floats in a bramble of hardware and preservatives. Geppetto is going to freeze to death if he does not find more wood to burn. Red's gram cutting quite the figure at the all night speakeasies. And you're never going to believe what a redneck girl in Oklahoma is doing with those ruby slippers she inherited.

Eleven stories with characters you'll recognize, but won't turn out like your mother told you.
