Grim by Ellen Hopkins, Julie Kagawa, Amanda Hocking, Claudia Gray, Rachel Hawkins et al.

Grim presents wonderfully twisted, fascinating fairy tales by some of the most recognizable names in Young Adult literature.  The Key by Rachel Hawkins is explosive and unexpected, while Better by Shaun David Hutchinson is completely heartbreaking.  My favorite of the short stories is Light It Up by Kimberly Derting, a suspenseful play on Hansel and Gretel made completely awesome by an ass kicking heroine.  I enjoyed reading this book, and was truly impressed by the quality of stories that it contained.  I was given the opportunity to read this book before it's publication date of February 25, 2014 by NetGalley and I think it will make an excellent addition to the young adult collection.  If you're looking for a creepy read, this is just what you need.
