The Return of Aladdin trilogy by J.R. Rain puts a paranormal spin on the classic tale. Aladdin Relighted (2011), Aladdin Sins Bad (2011), and Aladdin and the Flying Dutchman (2012) reimagine the story with modern supernatural elements.
Aladdin Relighted kicks things off by bringing the classic character into a contemporary setting where magic still exists but operates differently than in the original story. Aladdin Sins Bad followed the same year, escalating the conflict, and the third book crosses the Aladdin mythos with the legend of the Flying Dutchman, a pairing that shows Rain’s willingness to mix mythologies.
Rain is best known for his Vampire for Hire and Samantha Moon series, but he has a habit of taking familiar stories and filtering them through his paranormal lens. The Return of Aladdin trilogy is one of his more playful efforts, and the punning titles (Aladdin Relighted, Aladdin Sins Bad) set the tone for books that do not take themselves too seriously.
