The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic by Leigh Bardugo 281 pp.
This collection of short stories includes witches, goblins, mermaids, golems, and evil stepmothers. While the stories aren't ones you find in traditional fairy tale collections, they are very much in the style of the darker tales from the Brothers Grimm. Bardugo's writing is atmospheric and rich in detail. I'm not a big short story fan but I enjoyed these a great deal.
