Fables

I just finished Volume 10 of Fables, The Good Prince, and let me tell you, if you are not reading this series you need to be.

Here’s the gist: There has been a terrible war that has driven many Folk and Fairy tales from their Homeland. Many who can pass as human are living in Fabletown in New York, while those who can’t pass as human live on The Farm up State New York.

While the Fables yearn to return to the Homelands, they have their own lives to live, and those lives are even more complex than you can imagine.

These are not fairy tales for kids. These stories hark back to the folk and fairy tales before they were cleaned up. There is murder and sex and revenge and most of all fantastic stories.

So really, check it out. It’s completely and totally worth it.
