''The Girl in the Tower'' by Creator/MLLanzillotta is a strange, dark retelling of ''{{Literature/Rapunzel}}''. On her 13th birthday, Rose's adoptive mother (a kindly witch) locks her in a tower deep in Grimmland's darkest, dreariest forest. After three peaceful years a man finds the tower. He rapes and impregnates Rose. When the witch finds out, she refuses to believe that the man forced her. Furious, she sends the pregnant Rose away... forcing her to wander Grimmland, relying on the charity of others to survive and meeting a variety of fascinatingly odd people.
