If it were a derivative work that would make it even less infringing. For a derivative work you even get your own copyright on the changes. (Of course the "work" in this case would be a sculpture or something, as they're clearly not claiming the text of the story itself as a new/separate creation.)
The copyright to a 'derivative work' belongs to the owner of the original work, not to the creator of the derivative work.
