    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a novella. Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel.

    History is told from one person’s perspective. Sometimes they don’t get it right.

    Imagine marrying the man of your dreams, living in a cute little cabin in the woods, and your stepchildren trying to kill you.

    Confronted by the evil children, an innocent stepmother tries desperately to show her husband his kids’ true nature. When he doesn’t believe her, she must take matters into her own hands.

    Can she defeat the evil children, or will the stepmother be the one thrust into a burning hot oven at the end of the day?

    A wicked twist to the story of Hansel and Gretel, told completely from the point of view of the stepmother.

    Author

    Jamie Campbell

    Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up. Constantly letting her imagination run wild, her teachers were often frustrated when her 'What I did on the weekend' stories contained bunyips and princesses.Growing up, Jamie did the sensible things and obtained a Bachelor of Business degree from Southern Cross University and worked hard to gain her membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.Yet nothing compared to writing. Quiting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.

      Hansel and Gretel - Jamie Campbell

      HANSEL AND GRETEL:

      DEVIL CHILDREN

      Hansel and Gretel:

      Devil Children

      JAMIE CAMPBELL

      CHAPTER 1

      The kids were going to kill me.

      I was sure of it.

      They were playing outside the cottage, their images framed by the window of the kitchen. The boy of seven and the girl of six looked like little angels with their fair hair and rosy cheeks.

      Their father was chopping wood in the distance. He was out of sight, but I could hear the heavy chop of the axe as it came down on the wood over and over again. His presence was reassuring, but I wondered if he’d make it back in time if they decided to attack.

      Every now and then, the boy, Hansel, would catch a glimpse of me staring at them. He would wave at me like he was being cute, but there was a silent threat there. He wanted me to know he knew I was watching them. He was taking it all in, absorbing it all to use later.

      To justify killing me.

      He had done it to his real mother. The two of them had stoned her to death when she couldn’t make the tiny amount of food they had taste any good. They dug a hole, forced her into it, then thrown stones at her head until she died.

      When their father came home, they said a thief had broken into the cottage and killed her. My husband loved his precious children so much that he believed them. They shed crocodile tears as he buried her in the woods.

      You want to know how I know about that?

      Hansel told me.

      Gretel had nodded along to the whole story.

      It had been a warning to me on my wedding night. A warning that I needed to behave, otherwise I would suffer the same fate. If they could do it to their real mother, of course they could do it
