Product Details

Artist Petra Collins and actress Alexa Demie create nine erotic stories in a contemporary reimagining of a fairy tale book. Fairy Tales is an erotic folklore of short stories shot by Petra Collins starring Alexa Demie. The pair created the concept and text collaboratively. Alexa portrays nine characters that embody new stories they would have liked to see. As children, Petra and Alexa were both enamored with fairy tales, which provided an escape from their own painful realities. Each of the nine tales are set in unique spaces, ranging from suburban homes and parking lots to fantastical sets. Petra and Alexa's chapters of elves, mermaids, sirens, water sprites, fallen angels, fairies, witches, and banshees blend their own stories with retold fairy tales. The photos combine elements of camp, prosthetics, and shibari in a surreal update to the imagery of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, Charles Perrault, and others.

It's pretty, but thats it.

So like I honestly didn't know what I was getting into I was just super excited to see Alexa Demie modeling and having a story to go along with the images but thats where it missed the mark completely. It's either I don't understand the "story" or there is no story to understand. You can finish the book in 5 minutes the "fairytales" made no sense. Like it's just a picture book at the end of the day and even then the pictures were blurry half the time and it's rated "M" there's nothing "M" about it. I bought it mainly to support Demie but It didn't give me a good impression about Petra like there is no reading in it that tells me she's a decent author. This is not a good look if someone wants to check out her previous work because the writing made no sense. It was really short too so it left you even more confused. It's not good at all but it's pretty.

Beautiful Photobook!

Alexa Demie and Petra Collins put in so much creativity and nostalgic ethereal photo shoots of putting a meaning of a fairy tale storybook!
