It might be These Children Who Come at You With Knives. The stories are like dark, twisted fairy tales, though I don't particularly remember one about Hansel and Gretel.

Alright, I'll try to avoid making this a wall of text, but that's going to be tough. Vonnegut is my all time favorite author, I've read everything the man has ever published, and though I've never found another author with quite the same voice, I've spent a lot of time trying.

Let's start with some humor masking philosophy, that's really what Vonnegut does best. The Hitchhiker's Guide is the best example of this in existence, but Terry Pratchett does a good job in his Discworld novels too. There're are reading guides online for Discworld, but I think you'd enjoy starting with Equal Rites.

I almost erased all of the above in my vehemence to recommend Tom Robbins to you. Jitterbug Perfume, Still Life With Woodpecker, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues...you really can't pick wrong with him.

I'm not much of a short story reader, Murakami, Ray Bradbury, and JD Salinger are exceptions to this rule for me. These Children Who Come at You with Knives is an excellent collection of dark fairy tales.
