Crumbs Kindle Edition

Crumbs: A Horror Retelling of Hansel and GretelBy Scott Collins JohnsonOnce upon a time, children vanished in the woods…And fairy tales lied about why.In Crumbs, Scott Collins Johnson tears away the comforting gloss of the classic story and exposes the nightmare underneath. This is Hansel and Gretel as it was never meant to be read to children—a brutal, emotional, and unsettling descent into betrayal, hunger, and survival.Hansel and Gretel are not simply lost.They are sold.As secrets rot behind smiling faces and the forest reveals something far older and crueler than legend, the siblings are forced to outthink a monster that does not need sight to hunt—and a world where adults fail them at every turn.Crumbs is not just about a witch.It’s about:Parents who choose themselves over their childrenThe lies communities tell to protect comfort and profitThe cost of survival when innocence is stripped awayAnd the terrifying truth that sometimes… the monsters win firstWritten in a cinematic, dark-fantasy style, Crumbs blends folklore, horror, and emotional realism into a story that lingers long after the final page.
