How Modern Wicked Fairy Tales Began
Selena Kitt, known for her bold and boundary-pushing erotic fiction, launched the Modern Wicked Fairy Tales series in 2011, tapping into the timeless allure of fairy tales. Inspired by the idea of reimagining childhood classics for an adult audience, Kitt crafted stories that retain the magic of the originals while infusing them with sensual themes and contemporary settings. Her goal? To create narratives that are both nostalgic and provocative, appealing to readers who crave romance with an edge.
The series began with standalone novellas, each tackling a different fairy tale, and quickly gained traction for its creative twists and steamy encounters. Kitt’s innovative approach, backed by her experience running Excessica Publishing, helped the series stand out in the crowded erotic romance market, earning praise for its balance of story and spice.
The Heart of Modern Wicked Fairy Tales
The series features eight captivating novellas, including Beauty, Rapunzel, Alice, and Wendy, each offering a fresh take on a classic tale. In A Modern Wicked Fairy Tale: Beauty, former beauty queen Jolee Mercier escapes a deadly plot by her husband, finding refuge with a mysterious ‘beast’ in a remote cabin. Rapunzel, a fan favorite, delivers an emotional journey with less focus on eroticism, weaving a poignant story that nearly brings readers to tears. Alice takes a wild, BDSM-infused trip down the rabbit hole, exploring a secret erotic club, while Wendy reimagines Peter Pan with dark, thrilling modern elements.
Themes of love, desire, and personal growth run through the series, set against modern backdrops like 1920s New York or secluded wilderness. Kitt’s style blends vivid storytelling with sensual scenes, ranging from vanilla romance to BDSM, catering to diverse tastes. Readers praise the series for its balance of heart and heat, with strong narratives that elevate it beyond typical erotica.
Each novella feels distinct, yet they share a common thread: empowered heroines finding love and strength in unexpected places. Whether it’s Gretel’s adventurous spin on Hansel and Gretel or Red’s romantic 1920s tale, the series captivates with its mix of nostalgia, spice, and emotional depth.
