I'm trying to write my own retelling of Beauty and the Beast as a superhero story now.

The cover is gorgeous, and the premise sounds really interesting (the pirate just might be the hero of this particular story ).
It's coming out soon, and I'm horribly intrigued!
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Mercedes Lackey also has a few other books based on fairy tales, such as "The Fire Rose." That is a a very good retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in the early 1900s in the USA.

Melanie Dickerson (I think that's the spelling) has the fairytales done with Christian elements like Merchants Daughter is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I enjoyed the Wicked series, and have Mirror Mirror on my shelf to be read next. There is a manga series called Alice in the Country of Hearts, and another Pandora Hearts that play off of Alice in Wonderland.

It's a very dark, adult, sci-fi take on the Alice story. I really enjoyed it.
