Alix at Forever Young Adult is doing a series of modern YA fairy tale retellings. First up: “Donkey Skin” aka “Peau d’âne.”

From the intro: “Welcome to Effed-Up Fairy Tales, wherein I take an incredibly creepy fairy tale and render it, if at all possible, even more unsettling by coating it with a varnish of high school angst and orthodontics. First to get this very special treatment: Donkeyskin, a fabulous French fairy tale about a father in love with his daughter, some baller outfits, and tangentially, a donkey that shits gold. No, really.”
