A Little Stroll through the Woods:
Little Red Riding Hood ventures in the woods in her house vicinity, headed to her granny. When she meets the wolf, something peculiar happens. Why he's saying he met the girl before?
Little Thumb:
Little Thumb is the younger member of a large family. When he realizes they have not enough food for everyone, he decides he will get rid of his parents.While doing that, he meets an Ogre that will completely change his plans.
Cat in a Box
Chi Bi has a package delivered at his door. When he opens it, a cat robot comes out of it. He says he comes from the future and Chi, himself, is his creator. Is that true? What does this peculiar creature want?
Tales of an Untold Past by Mark Russo is not simply a collection of classic stories retold with a science fiction theme:
A LITTLE STROLL THROUGH THE WOODS has a definite Twilight Zone twist to it and left me wanting a companion story told from the wolf's POV.
LITTLE THUMB has a post-apocalypse setting with a steampunk twist.
Last but not least, CAT IN A BOX includes time-travel.
The first story is the best one and I think the author should consider scrapping the other two and lengthening A Little Stroll into a novella. The wolf deserves more attention.
As always,
