That's because , after you guys, EVERYBODY rewrote the same fairy tales.
Granted, quite a few were very good(Jane Yolen's Briar Rose, Sherri S. Tepper's Beauty come to mind, as does Deerskin, the author escapes me at the moment, and Ellen Kushner's Swordpoint and subsequent books are divine too), some are rehashings of the same stories, over and over again.
There are many, many tales that could stand being rewritten in a modern flavour, or even rewritten from the Disneyfied status they currently have, back to a style closer to what they originally were when originally written for adults.
