Genre: Short
Story/Fairy Tale
Description:
“She just wanted a weekend off the grid.
When graphic designer Scarlett Reyes arrives at a remote mountain
cabin for a digital detox, she finds exactly what the booking promised — no
Wi-Fi, no cell service, no way to reach the outside world. Just peace, quiet,
and a property manager named Wolfe who seems to have an answer for everything.
Then she finds the phones buried in the woods. Then the bones.
By the time Scarlett understands what she's walked into, the sauna
door is locked from the outside and the temperature is climbing.
A modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood for readers who
know the wolf was never just a wolf.”
Author:
“Lars C. Hallene writes dark fiction that finds modern terror in the
oldest stories. His Grimm's Modern Nightmares series reimagines classic fairy
tales for adult readers who know that the wolf was never just a wolf.”
Appraisal:
Who’s afraid of the big bad Wolfe? Yeah, me too. A fun … well, maybe
entertaining would be a better adjective as long as it doesn’t really happen to
me or anyone I know, twist on the classic fairy tale. However, moving it to
modern times and a scenario that in theory could actually happen sure makes it
seem more real and for that reason even spookier than the original.
