Publisher's Synopsis
Classic Fairytales Just Got a Ruthless, Satirical Makeover.
Once Upon a Grift is a sharp and hilarious remix of your favorite childhood stories-retold for an age of pay-to-play politics, billionaires, tech bros, and late-stage capitalism.
From Cinderella's startup struggles to executive power excesses, these darkly funny fables expose the absurdity of modern life.
With biting wit and literary flair, Dexter Droll transforms beloved fairytales into cautionary tales for the 21st century-where the dragons wear suits, the wolves hold stocks, and no one gets out of the story unscathed.
- Perfect for fans of cultural satire, political humor, and dystopian fairytales
- A great gift for readers who love The Devil's Dictionary, The Onion, or Black Mirror
- Smart, funny, and unfortunately very relevant today
