A note for parents
This is an anthology of reimagined fairy tales that updates classic stories with modern technology and darker, more complex themes. Most stories are thoughtful and empowering, centering on characters who take agency in their own fates rather than waiting for rescue. The collection skews toward middle-grade to young adult readers with its blend of whimsy, problem-solving, and slightly darker fairy-tale elements, though individual stories vary in tone and content intensity.

In Shattering The Glass Slipper, fifteen talented authors take on these age-old tales and transform them into bold and brave new visions. Discover worlds where the Seattle Space Needle acts as Rapunzel's tower; where seven princesses plot their own rescue from the fae; where a magic mirror is connected to an app on your phone...and shows you more than you may be able to handle. Get hired by a giant to climb beanstalks, each with its own problem to solve...or by the Goblin King to turn Tweets into gold. Hunt a firebird for a single feather. Use the internet to find a prince for a princess. And more! In each of these stories, there is a thread of the familiar, spun by magic or technology into something new to achieve the improbable and, often, the impossible. Through ages past and into the future, our writers are traveling roads less traveled with characters that are light, dark, and always unpredictable. Join Marie Brennan, Lucia Iglesias, Alyse Winters, Rebecca A. Demarest, R.J. Blain, Miyuki Jane Pinckard, Rachel Swirsky, Angela Rega, Alethea Kontis, Y.M. Pang, Patricia Bray, Cat Rambo, Rhondi Salsitz, R.Z. Held, and José Pablo Iriarte as they turn Happily Ever After inside out!
