Zombierella: Fairy Tales Gone Bad

Product Information

The first in a funny, deliciously dark, three-part series of twisted classics, written in verse by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Freya Hartas. Its amazing, I really enjoyed it because its turned from an fairy tale to a zombie book for older children. In 2003, Oleg Tarasov, the producer of Messer Chups and head of their home label Solnze Records, invited the world famous theremin player Lydia Kavina to join them. Together they have released several albums and reworked their previous releases. In 2005, Messer Chups became a duo consisting of Gitarkin and Svetlana "Zombierella" Nagaeva on bass. In 2007, they became a trio, with drummer Denis "Kashchey" Kuptsov [ es] from the band Leningrad. In 2008, they changed their drummer to Alexander Belkok, and Alexander Skvortzov became their vocalist. [ citation needed]

The band was founded by Oleg Fomchenkov (also known as Oleg Gitarkin) who had previously performed with Oleg Kostrov as Messer für Frau Müller [ ru]. Messer Chups is often considered a "spin-off" band of Messer für Frau Müller. [ citation needed] In the group's name, "Messer" is taken from the German word for "knife" and "Chups" from Chupa Chups lollipops. [3] The book Zombierella didn’t only look wonderful from the outside, but the story inside was wonderful too, with all the peculiar twists and turns in the life (or death?) of Cinderella written in the most amusing and comical way. It was literally the best twisted version of Cinderella I HAD EVER READ. Highly recommended to anyone of any age who enjoys a good retelling of a classic fairytale with an undead twist.

Zombierella was longlisted for the UK Diverse Book Awards 2021, and with it being written by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho, and beautifully illustrated by Freya Hartas, I can absolutely understand why. el libro me ha gustado. Es un retelling de Cenicienta y forma parte de la serie Cuentos Estropeados. Nunca había oído esto - cuentos estropeados, pero este me ha gustado. Es una versión más tétrica y macabra del cuento de Cenicienta y quizás no sea apta para niños pequeños. My daughter struggles with reading and is often put off by chapter books... But this... With its dark and lyrical prose and wonderful illustrations had her asking for just one more chapter... Just one more. When the town receives an unusual visitor in the guise of a prince whose culinary tastes are on the bloody side and whose bed is more wood and dirt than cushions and frame, Cinderella's life is about to take a dark turn. Yet whether life as a Zombie is as bad as it sounds is something for the reader to decide. Crawl out of the grave and step into your mushroom carriage for Zombierella: Fairytales Gone Bad, the first in a funny, deliciously dark, three-part series of twisted classics, written in verse by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Freya Hartas.

Me gustó, estuvo entretenido. Es un retelling de la cenicienta en versión más terrorífica pero desde un punto de vista infantil aunque igual no lo considero apto para niños xd I loved how unapologetically dark it was. It still has all the classic fairytale messages such as true love and being a good person but with a zombie Cinderella and other dead/undead characters. Entre sus páginas podemos encontrar el clásico escrito en prosa poética acompañado de unas ilustraciones en blanco y negro maravillosas y tétricas a partes iguales, que además incluyen muchos detalles en ellas, así que vale la pena detenerse a observarlas bien. Una historia muy original aunque sea un retelling del cuento de la cenicienta. Original porque nuestra cenicienta, como bien indica el título, es zombi, y original también porque es una historia poética, todo se cuenta a través de poesías y bellas ilustraciones. The Prince is smitten with Cinderella but every night at midnight she runs away. On the third night she leaves a part of her on the steps, but will the Prince ever find the woman he has fallen in love with?

Sin embargo, en esta ocasión, he de decir que me ha dejado alucinada reconocer partes del cuento popular y ver cómo había logrado cambiarlos para transformar esta historia en una tan turbia y a la vez divertida (pues no hay que olvidar que el público al que está dirigida es infantil, con lo que no va a dar miedo, pero sí vamos a encontrar elementos del género de terror).
