Cameron Jace built his reputation on twisted fairy tales. The Insanity series, his longest work at eleven books, reimagines Alice in Wonderland as something far darker than Lewis Carroll intended — Alice is locked in an asylum, unsure whether Wonderland was real or a delusion, and each book pulls her deeper into a world where nursery rhyme characters have sinister agendas. The series ran from 2013 to 2023.

The Grimm Diaries and its twenty-six prequels form Jace’s other major body of work, retelling classic fairy tales as interconnected dark fantasy. Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and dozens of other characters get reimagined with horror elements and moral ambiguity. He also wrote the Queen of Sorrow series, the Anne Anderson trilogy, the I Am Alive science fiction series, and a handful of standalones. With over fifty books published since 2012, Jace has been a steady presence in the dark fairy tale retelling space.
