But Greta and her brother, half-starved and now alone, must risk death for the dream of safety they hope to find within the metal forest. Once there, nothing is as it seems: in the confines of a crumbling old candy factory, the woman who rescues them with sweet words and sweeter treats harbors a dangerous secret.The novella CRUMBS is the lesbian retelling of the classic fairy tale, "Hansel and Gretel." It is part of the series SAPPHO'S FABLES: LESBIAN FAIRY TALES.
Review
Crumbs: A Lesbian Hansel and Gretel (Sappho's Fables: Lesbian Fairy Tales) is the third part in a series of well-known fairy tale retellings by Elora Bischop (aka Jennifer Diemer, aka S. E. Diemer, aka Bridget Essex).I liked this one the least of the three, maybe it was the post-apocalyptic ‘walking dead’ setting or maybe it was Greta who – for all her twenty summers – was nothing but a frightened sniffling child. Or perhaps it was Sabine, a diabetic’s wet dream, who’s culinary skills only reach as far as cakes, brownies, chocolate pudding and pies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This whole story was a bit of an odd duck. It was building up to something that never really came to fruition. Meh.f/f a few cake crumbed kissesThemes: mom and dad are tired of it all and check out, Greta and Han out-bike the zombies, oh you haven’t eaten in 10 years… here have a whole blueberry pie, I almost keeled over in suger shock after this story, I haven’t trusted anyone in my entire life but you are so awfully purdy, Han basically sleeps through the whole adventure, the lazy sod.3 stars
