Twisted Myths & Fairy Tales
(2027)An Anthology of Filthy Retellings
A collection of stories by LoveBite Shorts
Contemporary, fantasy, and speculative retellings infused with romance, horror, and monsters.
Fairy Tales
Red
Everyone warned her about the wolf in the woods. No one warned her about the real monster who raised her.
Sleeping
She signed up for an experimental sleep trial to escape her nightmares. She didn’t expect to wake up owned by the man who put her under.
Princess & the Peen
The courtship was all propriety: chaperones, ceremonies, a prince who never once overstepped. She should have known restraint only makes hunger worse.
Beauty & the Beast
He’s the boxer everyone’s told her to fear, all scar tissue and silence. She’s the only one who’s ever looked at him and not flinched.
Cinderella
Every gift was another chain. Every kindness another cage. She escaped barefoot, leaving nothing behind but a glass slipper. Now the prince isn’t searching the kingdom for a bride—he’s hunting for the one pair of feet he can’t stop thinking about.
Greek Myths
Hades
The underworld runs on reputation, and his brother just gambled his away. Its king doesn’t want the debt paid in blood—he wants the daughter his brother adopted.
Medusa
She built her refuge for women the world stopped protecting. Falling for a blind man should be safe'''until he starts asking questions only sight should answer.
Minotaur
He buried his heart deep beneath the maze, where no one could ever find it. She wasn’t looking for one, but she found it anyway, still beating.
Psycho & Eros
Aphrodite cursed her to destroy Eros's heart from the inside. She didn't warn him Psycho was already a monster long before the gods got involved.
Celtic Folklore
Kelpie
She goes to the loch to grieve, not to be lured. The water doesn’t care what she came for—only what it can keep.
Nuckelavee
She’s investigating a marine die-off no scientist can explain. The truth is older than her research grant, and far hungrier.
Baobhan Sith
The dance was supposed to be her hunt, her kill, her night. She didn’t expect the monster she took home to be worse than her.
African & Asian Folklore
Djinn (Qarin)
He was bound to whisper her into ruin, one temptation at a time. Instead he fell first, and now ruin isn’t the plan anymore.
Princess Bari
Abandoned for the sin of being born a daughter, she was never meant to return. She comes back anyway—for the throne, and for blood.
Firefly Vampire
The experiment was supposed to kill what was already inside him. It just woke it up. Now he’s hunting the people responsible—starting with the doctor whose needle prick bound her to him first.
This anthology contains dark themes, explicit content, and monstrous love. Reader discretion is advised.
