Issue Description

The very eccentric and very rich Mr. Lockett is smitten with the much younger and very beautiful Goldilocks. His advances finally prove successful as Goldy accepts an offer to move into his estate. However, little does Mr. Lockett know that Goldilocks is certainly not all she's cracked up to be. She has a shocking plan to take his fortune out from under his nose even if it means killing him. But Goldilocks quickly learns that gold-digging might not be the best career move after she finds 3 much bigger problems to contend with. 
 
The modern setting is established with a young woman who is married to a man only so that she can get his money.  In the meanwhile she is having an affair with a man her own age and they plot to kill the old man later that night.  Sela enters and the young woman reads the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  This story more closely resembles the modern setting which was introduced and not the classic fairy tale as the character is being wooed by an old man (said to be a wizard) while being in love with a man her own age.  The two decide on a plot to infiltrate his home and kill him.  The bears are included in this story, except they are they are shown as statues which defend the house.  She enters by finally accepting his offer and when he goes to sleep she lets the young man in who goes to the room and kills the old man.  AS they try to escape they are attacked by the bear statues which have come to life.  The action switches back to the modern setting where the young woman races off to stop her boyfriend from killing the old man, but finds both of them dead, her young lover with what appears to be claw marks on his back.

Volume Description

A series which aims to tell updated fairy tale stories, often with an added touch of horror to them. They are generally told as something of a parable to the modern conditions of rotating character. The stories are usually narrated by either Belinda or Sela. The two control two books of fairy tales and they are generally used to either help or hinder those listening to them. Over the course of the series the fairy tales get used in different ways, for instance the two narrators can control the characters in magical worlds, modern characters outside of the fairy tales become fairy tale characters, or the two narrators live through the fairy tales themselves to examine their actions. The series is also notable for its generally misleading covers, as they often contain revealing pictures of the female characters, the characters in the stories themselves are generally portrayed in a more respectable manner. The series is also noted for some of its variant covers which are not fairy tales representations, but mythical or legendary ones such as Cleopatra or Rosie the Riveter.
