**THE DARK QUEENS OF GRIMM — BEAUTIFUL, WICKED & DEADLY** Beauty can be deceiving, and nobody understood that better than the Brothers Grimm! Six stunning but terrifying women emerge from the darker side of the original fairy tales: the jealous Evil Queen of *Schneewittchen* (Snow White), the possessive enchantress of *Rapunzel*, the sinister gingerbread witch of *Hänsel und Gretel* (Hansel and Gretel), the vengeful thirteenth wise woman of *Dornröschen* (Sleeping Beauty), the treacherous false bride of *Die Gänsemagd* (The Goose Girl), and the murderous stepmother of *Von dem Machandelboom* (The Juniper Tree). Reimagined as breathtaking gothic pinup beauties, these six villainesses combine dark glamour, seductive elegance, supernatural menace, and breathtaking cruelty. Dressed in luxurious gowns, surrounded by candlelight, ancient castles, forbidden magic, and deadly secrets, they remind us that the most frightening monsters in a fairy tale don't always look like monsters — sometimes they are the most beautiful women in the room!
