Written by former Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Freya Hartas, this three-book paperback set follows a zombie Cinderella, a monstrous mash-up of Frankenstein and Rumpelstiltskin, and a thorn-covered twist on Sleeping Beauty. Sharp, witty and spooky, it's a brilliant introduction to verse storytelling for readers aged 7-9 who love a darker edge to their fairy tales. About the Books This deliciously dark trilogy takes familiar fairy tale bones and gives them a thrillingly modern, macabre makeover. In Zombierella , Cinderella falls to her death on the night of the ball — only to be raised by the Shadow of Death, returning for three nights as a vengeful, ice-cold zombie determined to settle scores with her cruel stepsisters. Frankenstiltskin mashes together Frankenstein and Rumpelstiltskin, introducing a patchwork creature who strikes a dangerous bargain with a king desperate to bring his dead wolf back to life. In Creeping Beauty , fairy godmother Eshe glimpses the future and foresees a girl smothered in creeping thorns, setting her on a quest to change fate before it's too late. Written entirely in verse, each story crackles with rhythm, dark humour and Coelho's signature wit, while Freya Hartas's illustrations add gothic flair throughout. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, these books make poetry accessible, funny and gripping — ideal for reluctant readers and anyone who loves a fairy tale with added bite. Each story stands alone, so the set can be read in any order. Three complete paperback stories in one spooky set: Zombierella, Frankenstiltskin and Creeping Beauty Written in engag
