Vampirella's only hope of escaping The Storyteller is to live out the twisted fantasies in his book. She soon finds herself cast as "Snow White" in a macabre re-imagining of the classic Betty Boop cartoon, as written by Stephen R. Bissette (Saga of the Swamp Thing) and Denis St. John (Monster Pie). Then, Gail Simone (Red Sonja) provides a fresh take on an old fishwife's tale when she sends Vampirella to a thirsty Old West town to find out whether or not Sailor Jim and his mermaid bride really are living 'happily ever after'.
Nancy A. Collins (Swamp Thing, Sunglasses After Dark) has called upon some of today's finest creative talents - including Gail Simone, Steve Niles, Joe R. Lansdale, Devin Grayson, Stephen R. Bissette, and many more - to celebrate Vampirella's 45th Anniversary by crafting an anthology of twisted tales, bizarre bedtime stories, and fearsome fables in the tradition of the original Warren magazines, each featuring everyone's favorite sexy, kick-ass vampire-turned-monster hunter. While exploring the Transylvanian castle she's recently inherited, Vampirella discovers a strange old book of "Feary Tales" that seems oddly familiar. Upon opening it, she is sucked inside its pages and lands in a weird alternate reality, where she is compelled by a disembodied voice calling itself 'The Storyteller' to live out each of the 'feary tales' if she ever hopes to return to reality.
In the penultimate issue of the all-star anthology series celebrating the 45th anniversary of Vampirella's creation, every fang-boy's favorite pin-up ghoul is (un)dressed for success in "The Vampire(r)s New Clothes" by Stuart Moore (Firestorm, Namor: The First Mutant). Vampirella then goes on to find herself in a very sticky situation in "Hard By A Great Forest" by Eric Trautmann (Checkmate, Lady Rawhide), while Nancy A. Collins (Swamp Thing, Sunglasses After Dark) has her learning more about her mysterious blonde doppelganger.
Vampirella is still trapped inside the nightmarish netherworld of the Feary Tales book, tormented by the disembodied voice of the mysterious Storyteller, and her only hope of escaping is if she can survive the ghoulish mix-ups of familiar nursery tales until she reaches the last story. But first she must weather Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing) and Denis St. John's (Monster Pie) macabre re-imagining of the classic Betty Boop version of "Snow White", then help track down a little missing mermaid in Gail Simone's (Red Sonja) "Thirsty, Thirsty Town".
The celebration of the 45th anniversary of the creation of everyone's favorite vampire vixen reaches its senses-shattering conclusion in the fifth and final issue of Feary Tales. Vampirella is shocked when she meets the pun-happy Storyteller face-to-face, only to end up hip-deep in alligators in Steve Niles' (Thirty Days of Night, Army of Darkness, October Faction) swamp-monster retelling of "The Frog Prince". Then, in Nancy A. Collins' (Vampirella, Sunglasses After Dark, Swamp Thing) twisted take on "Sleeping Beauty", a major character from the original Warren run is reintroduced when Vampirella finally discovers the true identity of her mysterious doppelganger and learns about her hidden connection to the enchanted book she is trapped inside in a weird and wicked resolution that ties in with the on-going monthly title-provided Vampi can escape a castle full of walking dead that have awoken from their centuries-long slumber with a royal appetite...
