Downloading GRIMM REMIXED: Volume 2: Hooks, Hexes, and Holograms

Happily-ever-after has a firmware update.

In Grimm Remixed: Volume Two – Hooks, Hexes, and Holograms, fairy tales jack into city grids, glitch through mirrors, and haunt the places Wi-Fi fears to reach. These are 25 retellings where queens crash matrices, thieves steal back their names, and monsters ask better questions.

Inside you’ll find new spells written in code, candle smoke, and glitter:

Snow Crash Protocol (Snow White/Sneewittchen) — A hybrid awakens, a Mirrorwitch runs beauty like a dictatorship, a hashtag becomes a revolution

Signal Hill (Rapunzel) — A drag stylist builds a sanctuary, hair is a rope, a crown, a lifeline. Wigs become ladders; community becomes rescue

Murder Eyes at Magnolia’s (The Robber Bridegroom) — South Carolina, a gay bar and a talking skull

Buzzkill Startup (The Queen Bee) — Copenhagen, a neurospicy coder, and a grant with strings

The Ghost in the Dial-Up (The Spirit in the Bottle) — A bottle, a modem’s shriek, and a genie

Open, Velvet (Simeli Mountain) — A velvet-rope vault with passwords that open more than doors

Glitterfugue (The Bremen Town Musicians) — Misfits start a band where the set list is survival and the chorus is found family.

The Feathered Truth (The Twelve Huntsmen) — Disguises, devotion, and a trial where love refuses to be misgendered.

The Plate on the Wall (The Old Man and His Grandson) — A quiet kitchen, a carved reminder, and the tenderness that interrupts cruelty.

The Glitter Wheat Prophecy (The Flail from Heaven) — Post-collapse Croatia: seedware in the soil, a fallen tool from the sky, and a harvest of defiance.

Kids Gone Viral (The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids) — Siblings vs. a hungry algorithm. The wolf edits, the kids fight back with the truth.

And more detonations: The Block That Ate Itself (Sweet Porridge), Hell No in Red Square (The Devil and His Grandmother), The Art of Stealing Yourself (The Master Thief), The Riddle of the Bramble Queen (The Goose Girl at the Well), Crumb King (The Crumbs on the Table), The Pantry and the Parasite (Cat and Mouse in Partnership), The Roots Beneath Her Name (The Old Woman in the Forest), Four Phases of Fabulous (The Duration of Life), The Gap Year of Chad Sunshine (Going a Traveling), Hook, Line, Devine (The Fisherman and His Wife), Mirrorball Graveyard (The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces), The Ripple Beneath (The Water of Life), Stable Condition (The Fox and the Horse), The Oracle Gene (The Pink).

What’s inside this remix?

Queer futures & feral folklore — drag salons, space communes, and kitchens where kindness is the sharpest tool.

Techno-myth & witchcraft — mirror matrices, cursed updates, and spells that compile.

Voice that bites — snark, softness, and endings that choose justice over neatness.

For fans of cyber-fairy tales, queer speculative lit, folklore retellings, and club-kid mythmaking.

These aren’t bedtime stories. They’re after-midnight transmissions — boosted from basements, runways, and orbital ruins.

Grimm Remixed: Volume Two asks: what happens when the spell meets the system — and the system blinks first?

Keep the signal alive…

The series continues across six volumes, where hooks catch kings, hexes rewrite rules, and holograms refuse calibration. Start here, then follow the glitch.
