I vaguely recall seeing a book which had twisted and more adult versions of classic fairy tales such as Red Riding Hood, however, I have been unable to recall the author or the actual name of the book.
So basically I was wondering whether anyone else had encountered them and who maybe able to shed some light on the author and the name of the book.
Thanks in advance.

Heh, I tried doing an "Adult Fairy Tales" search in Amazon and got some interesting results of a sexual nature.

I think what you're thinking of are the original Grimm fairy tales, which were much darker and sadistic than the modern kiddie versions.

I think there's quite a lot of adult versions of classic fairy tales been written  you might need to be a bit more specific. But anyway, doubt it's what you're looking for but try this or this.

Little Red Riding Hood was never really about a wolf who wanted to eat people. Instead, it was a story to warn young girls of those who wanted to take their innocence.
My favorite version is short-story "The Company of Wolves" by Angela Carter. EVEmail me if you can't find a copy. (I just noticed the two books by the previous poster are by her)

Not what you're looking for (how helpful  ), but there was an interesting book called "Subversive Fairytales" published around 1990-ish.
Can't find the link for it, either.
Anyways, it examined many fairytales and attempted to show how they harmful to kids... with all kinds of hidden "wrong" messages that children pick up from reading them.
Obviously, it was written by a nut-job. It was still an interesting book, though.

I greatly enjoyed the Politically Correct fairy tales books that came out.... god knows how long ago, back when PC was funny not disturbing.
Here
The Christmas tales were some of my favorites. With greats like:
"Frosty the Snowman" concerns two argumentative children who build a snowman and when he tells them he's going to melt, they march to Washington to protest about abuse of the ozone layer.
"Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is the story of a disliked outsider who suddenly became OK to Santa when Santa could get some use out of him. But Rudolf won't have any of it. He says the deer are underprivileged and need a more flexible work schedule and a retirement plan.
