My version is actually a mordern horror version inspired by the bluebeard original story ("Les contes interdits" collection is  "retellings" of classic fairy tales from a horror, modern, inspired point of view, they are not retelling per say but more inspired and retaking some points)  ;) but since they are from french canadian authors, they don't exist in english

Summary: One day, Lexie decides to leave New York to go back in her small hometown of Jersey Cove (Gaspésie, Québec, Canada). In the village there is a prophetie that when the three sisters are back together a terrible malediction will come on the town.
