About the authors
Terri Windling is a writer, artist, and book editor interested in myth, folklore, fairy tales, and the ways they are used in contemporary arts. She has published over 40 books (novels, children's books, and anthologies), winning nine World Fantasy Awards, the Bram Stoker Award, and the SFWA Solstice Award for "outstanding contributions to the speculative fiction field as writer, editor, artist, educator, and mentor." Her adult novel "The Wood Wife" won the Mythopoeic Award for Novel of the Year, and her collection "The Armless Maiden" was shortlisted for the James Tiptree Jr. Award. She has also published numerous essays on myth, fairy tales, mythic arts, and fantasy literature.
"If there is a single person at the nexus of fantasy literature, it is Terri Windling -- as writer, as painter, as editor, as muse." - Jane Yolen
I've been a short story editor for over forty years, starting with OMNI Magazine and webzine for 17 years, then EVENT HORIZON, a webzine, and SCIFICTION, the fiction area of SCIFI.COM. I currently acquire and edit short fiction and novellas for Tor.com and I edit original and reprint anthologies. I've lived in NYC most of my life, although I travel a lot.
Alyx Dellamonica is a Toronto writer whose first novel, the apocalyptic fantasy INDIGO SPRINGS, was released in 2009 to rave reviews. Filled with sexual tension, unrequited love, messy ethical dilemmas and an ecologically unbalanced form of magic, the book tells the story of three friends who inadvertently cause the mystical equivalent of a nuclear meltdown in a small town in Oregon. The novel won the 2009 Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic and a sequel, BLUE MAGIC, was released in 2012.
Her newest novel, THE NATURE OF A PIRATE, closes the The Hidden Sea Tales trilogy, a 2014 Lambda Award Finalist. The second book in this series, A DAUGHTER OF NO NATION, was the winner of the Prix Aurora for best SF/Fantasy novel.
Dellamonica's fiction began to appear in print in 1986, and despite repeated washings, remains in circulation in a variety of print and on-line locales. Her alternate history of Joan of Arc, "A Key to the Illuminated Heretic," was short-listed for the 2005 Sidewise Award and in 2006 she was awarded a Canada Council for the Arts' Grant for Emerging Artists for her novel THE WINTERGIRLS. She teaches writing through UTSC and the UCLA Extension Writers' Program and blogs extensively about writing, photography, mass media and, inevitably, her cats..
Her 1989 outlaw marriage to writer Kelly Robson became legal in 2003.
"Being a writer is like being Spiderman. It may not always be easy--at times, it can be terribly hard. The highs are stratospheric, while the lows... occasionally, you even want to quit. But storytelling is a form of superpower; once it gets hold of a person, it will express itself one way or another. The trick is to find a way to tell your tales, to the best of your ability, while living a full and vibrant life."

I think I got rid of this book in high school bc i thought i could abandon my childlike whimsy comfort stories. Big mistake bc i started to forget the stories!
I repurchased this last year when my grandfather’s health was failing and he passed away a few days before my birthday. It is good to remember books can hug your heart.

If you're a fantasy reader you will see a bunch of names you recognize, as well as some you don't. But here's the real shock: ALL the stories are good. That, like, never happens. In an anthology like this you know there are going to be good stories, and you can pretty well guess that one of them will have been written by Tanith Lee. And you also expect there are going to be a lot of contributions that you can't enjoy at all. That didn't happen. I say "contributions" because three authors (Charles deLint, Neil Gaiman, and Nan Fry) contributed poems. The other 17 wrote stories.
Each contribution is followed by a one-paragraph biography of the author, then an Author's Note that usually describes the origin of the story, in the author's imagination or in folklore. Without naming any names, I will confirm what you probably guess: most of the resumes are much shorter than Tanith Lee's. But here's the truly remarkable thing: the stories by the writers with the shortest resumes are among the best in the book. (Yes, I know some of you are saying, "Why is that remarkable? Of course there are hundreds of talented young writers out there." Yes, there are, but they aren't necessarily easy to identify. You know that a bet placed on Lee or Gaiman is pretty safe.) Datlow and Windling deserve a great deal of credit for choosing these less well-known authors and encouraging them to produce such great results.
Now, I do have to complain about the technical production. (I read the kindle edition, and don't know if the following defects appeared in other editions.) I was surprised to find that Windling's "Introduction: The Faeries" was present twice, once (without a table of contents reference) between the cover and the Preface, then again after the Preface. As far as I could tell (I did not examine the second closely), these two versions were identical. More annoying, spaces between words are frequently missing. For instance, in the Introduction there is a reference to "a book called Gnomesby the Dutch artist Wil Huygen". That of course should be "a book called Gnomes by the Dutch artist Wil Huygen". This problem occurs throughout the book. And there are extra line breaks, sometimes in the middle of a sentence.
Sometimes you need to have a human copy editor.
Unfortunately, the Kindle version of this book has multiple dropped spaces between words and other typos that need to be fixed for full enjoyment of the tales.
