Could be wrong but they don't seem more 'out there' than Hansel and Gretel, Grimms Bluebeard or Little Red Riding Hood.

It may have been bad timing when I read them-lots of serious 'family/life' stuff at the time so the books seemed very dark to me. The boys both just love fairy tales and won't give 10 cents for any watered down Disney versions lol So we may have to take another look at these particular titles down the road.
