If you haven’t had a chance to read “I Hate Fairyland”, I highly recommend it, particularly if you’re into dark comedy and over-the-top violence disguised as whimsical candyland adventure.

Gertrude’s darkness and violence came from spending decades in a hopeless situation in a world where everyone kind of hates her, and that’s why I find her so fascinating. She’s clearly out of her mind and a danger to everyone around her, guilty and innocent alike, but you’re able to get why she’s like that, and given the same circumstances, who wouldn’t end up like here, you know what I mean?

That kind of deep and tormented characterization wrapped up in a zany whimsical happyland satire is ultimately what I greatly enjoy about “I Hate Fairyland”, and the hilarious situation of a horrid and insane murder machine trapped in the body of a seemingly harmless child is the lovely icing on the cake.
