I can see the ruthlessness of several of the key characters (Charming, Bluebeard, Goldilocks), but for some reason Fables doesn't strike me as being as bleak as much as, say, Alan Moore or George R. R. Martin's works.
I actually didn't pick up on the conservative orientation, and I already returned it to the library! Doh. I'm going to have to reread them again now with this in mind.
