dark modern fairy-tale, 31 October 2000
8/10
Author: Robert Devereux from Pittsburgh

This short starts with the premise that fairies have been forced out of their homes in the European forests and emigrate to the USA. The story follows Jack, who proposes to his fairy girlfriend, Jill. Before she can accept, he must convince her mother, Baba Yaga, to allow the marriage.

People should note this is not a children's story. It follows many fairy-tale concepts, but there are modern twists to it, and it is very much dark fantasy. Like Neil Gaiman's written work, this is a fairy-tale for adults who enjoy them.
