Fairy tale Retelling ranging from YA to Adult (will be updating as I come across them)

Books to reach for when you feel the itch to daydream about running through a dimly lit castle, followed by a shadowy presence, only to discover a dark forest stretching out before you.

This list features book covers illustrated/designed by Pennsylvania-based artist Jim Tierney. Tierney's illustrations feature sweeping textures, dramatic lighting, and bold, nostalgic text design, as you will definitely note while scrolling through this list. Please note that in some cases, his work is one of multiple versions of cover art for the same book, so it may appear as a different version here than the one he illustrated. In some cases I have avoided adding specific versions to curb confusion.

Dropout's Dimension 20 has maybe my favorite campaign of DND ever, Neverafter! A dark, twisted story full of fairytales. Storytelling about stories, destiny, and what it means to grow beyond the well known tales.

it’s creepy and weird but I like it (also a lot of these have the book as a character) #allvibes

Enchanted cottages, magical gardens, fairytale creatures and witches - these stories focus on communities where people are running businesses, caring for nature, crafting and finding their home. They're about magic making ordinary life feel extraordinary, with warmth, whimsy and love.

Fairy tale retellings

I LOVE single POV fantasy and it's so hard to find! It is soooo hard for me to keep track of 3+ POVs with my single-brain cell.

Books with teens who feel like real teenagers and not like characters from Riverdale.
