Goodreads: 48 Recent and New Retellings (That Are Not Based on Greek Mythology)

"Below, we've gathered up 48 new and upcoming retellings: books that take old classic stories (or myths or fairy tales or plays) and transport them into wild and wonderful new territories.

Retellings is typically the term used for these kinds of books, but often they're more like reimaginings, extended riffs, or wholesale transformations. These stories might shift the POV to another character or modernize the time frame of an older tale or change its genre entirely" ~GoodReads
