What to expect
Bawdy, shocking, and hilarious interpretations of classic and rare fairy tales from a beloved TikTok storyteller
Based on the wildly popular TikTok series, F*cked Up Fairy Tales presents modern retellings of some of the strangest and darkest stories humans have invented. Inspired by sources across the world, “Cosbrarian” Liz Gotauco conjures gossipy animals, homicidal royals, doomed commoners, and shape-shifting beaux—all reckoning with complicated, adult problems that “Disney versions” have sanitized. Gotauco offers insight into the stories’ contested origins, spills deliciously weird details about fairy tale authors, and explores timeless themes that have long tickled the human subconscious, from accidental bestiality and catastrophic marriages to the vexed question of what to do with your murderous lindworm child. Sexy, disturbing, and outrageous, F*cked Up Fairy Tales celebrates the astonishing diversity of the oral tradition, reaffirming our universal love for a story that’s messy as f*ck.
Critics Review
“Liz Gotauco is quirky, lively, and talented. I’ve heard many storytellers try hard to revive the oral tradition only to strike out, but Liz knocks it out of the park.”
“Liz Gotauco is a connoisseur of international folklore and fairy tales and brings her own gleefully funny and explicit take in their telling. The book is a delight, and wonderfully informative as well. Jade Gotauco’s illustrations provide the perfect vibe. But beware: these are not your Mama’s bedtime stories.”
“Hilarious and original yet completely timeless takes on tales told all around the world for centuries, this book is putting all the lore into one gLOREious place! I love it!”
