In Erica Jane Waters' "Hansel and Gretel," the classic fairy tale is reimagined with a dark twist. The story follows siblings Hansel and Gretel who, lost in the woods, stumble upon a mysterious cottage made of sweets. However, the seemingly inviting home hides sinister secrets, as they soon discover that the witch who resides there has plans for them. As they navigate their fears and fight for survival, the bond between the siblings is tested. This haunting tale explores themes of resilience, betrayal, and the struggle for identity amid overwhelming darkness. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
