I&#8217;ve selected stories which take the classic battle of good vs. evil and infused it with plenty of sex and romance. You&#8217;ll never think of fairy tales the same way again!<\/p>\n<p>I chose stories with varied settings: go from modern-day reality of foreclosures to feudal Japan, then take a trip to a gingerbread house in the woods or meet the sexiest merman you can imagine.
