Dark and decidedly grown-up stories inspired by fairy tales-from New York Times bestsellers Karen Joy Fowler, Joyce Carol Oates, Susanna Clarke, and more. This collection from World Fantasy Award-winning editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling proves that fairy tales don't have to be for little children and that happily ever after doesn't necessarily mean forever. Here, the plights of Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunzel, and others are reimagined by some of today's finest literary talents.
