Ok, so i got something to ask
Everybody knows that grimm tales were dark and sinister, before they adapted it.
i want to know, if someone got these original stories. Like, real ones, the first original stories.
there is a book of it? I would love one.
Please, give everything you got about it

The original stories were verbally spread within the population or originated from folk songs, so most of them were already completely rephrased once the Grimm brothers released them.
The original versions of the stories weren't horror, but just little tales like "If you stray from your path, a wolf will come and eat you"
As far as I know, there are no original versions written down, save for some of the songs.

I know one of them, too. Red Riding Hood.
but there must be somewhere a book of at least some of the stories
Not exactly a book, but at least a compilation online.

Hansel in Gretel had this "they kissed each other in joy", so it was more or less on the incestuous side
