Fitcher's Bird by Grimm/Cindy Sherman

This is a straight up rendition of Fitcher's Bird, from the brothers Grimm, but illustrated with photographs by Cindy Sherman. Now, I have to say right from the beginning, dolls are creepy enough as it is. Juxtaposed with this Bluebeard variant, this book hits my goosebumps button.

There's nothing inherently gory, here, so I'm not saying that it couldn't be a kids' book... if you're okay with telling your kids the gruesome story in the first place. The art is all quite beautiful, if, as I have said, completely macabre.

This is very worthwhile, if you're a fairy tale collector.
