The awesome "Revolting Rhymes" by Dahl and awesome excerpts from them. They are revolting!!! indeed sir indeed!!! (hate me for using 3 exclamation marks, everything is revolting indeed.) You get the story in 1 line.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella
... when the prince sees whom the shoe fits, he decides not to marry
her, and instead cuts off her head.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_and_the_Beanstalk
Jack's mother then ascends herself, but is eaten.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White
"Gambling is not a sin / Providing that you always win"
[I'd say the story is about Hyper Snow white or Snow white on meth (a drug!)]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldilocks
...the title character is eventually eaten as a punishment for these
transgressions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Red_Riding_Hood
...devours Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. "The small girl
smiles/Her eyelid flickers/She whips a pistol from her knickers/She
aims it at the creature's head and BANG! BANG! BANG! she shoots him
... dead.")

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Little_Pigs
The third pig has other plans, however, and asks Little Red Riding
Hood to come and deal with the wolf. Ever the sharpshooter, Red Riding
Hood gains a second wolfskin coat and a pigskin traveling case

Okay! thats about it. The article is done. But if you want to copy
paste or modify the article for blog/website etc. Do that, but do me a
favor mention this website address as well. That's called share-alike
creative commons license. Go and be hell! revolting! with your own
revolting stories.
