Hansel turns into a beast and is hunted down and killed, then travels through hell and sees people being tortured. Gretel later cuts off her own finger and meets a man who steals the souls of young girls and turns their bodies into doves. When that get fixed (through magic, of course), Hansel and Gretel encounter a mother who ate her children and wants to eat Hansel and Gretel. Thus, A Tale Dark and Grimm runs the gamut of classic fairy tale violence, starting with Hansel and Gretel's parents cutting their heads off. As Gidwitz explains in one of his comments about the nature of fairy tales, it's only by going through the dark that one can fully appreciate the light.

In essays that range from using fashion to present as high-functioning to the depths of a rare form of psychosis, and from the failures of the higher education system and the dangers of institutionalization to the complexity of compounding factors such as PTSD and Lyme disease, Wang’s analytical eye, honed as a former lab researcher at Stanford, allows her to balance research with personal narrative. The Collected Schizophrenias is a collection of essays exploring the author's experience with schizoaffective disorder, as well as PTSD and Lyme disease. Opening with the journey toward her diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, Wang discusses the medical community’s own disagreement about labels and procedures for diagnosing those with mental illness, and then follows an arc that examines the manifestations of schizophrenia in her life.
