About

What if Sleeping Beauty didn’t wake from a spellbound slumber, but rose from the dead? What if the Big Bad Wolf was more interested in Grandma’s brains than in Little Red? What if Snow White was an ass-kicking punk goth grrl with her entourage of seven zombie minions? Classic fairy tales never die…and this Halloween, you’re going to help them rise from the grave. For our 2012 Halloween Ever Afters, Entangled Publishing wants your fairy tale retellings with an undead twist. Even in the land of the dead, survivors find love – and sometimes it’s a little easier with the dating pool narrowed down to anyone with a pulse. So take Alice on a trip down the rabbit hole into zombieland. Reinvent Beauty as a badass biker babe on the run from an ex-boyfriend turned into a flesh-eating Beast. Make us hungry for romance…or we’ll come for your brains.
