Description
Here are fourteen more curses on the subject of dark fairy tales from the masters of fantasy. Featuring Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Katherine Arden, M.R. Carey, A.C. Wise and many more. Following on from the hugely successful first volume, in this book Joe Hill gives us a chilling interpretation of a carnival curse in ‘Dark Carousel’, Sarah Pinborough offers a hellish curse in ‘The Confessor’s Tale’, both A.C. Wise and Laura Purcell tackle fairy-tale curses from the female protagonists’ perspective in ‘Shoes as Red as Blood’ and ‘Awake’, while Neil Gaiman gives us a very different take on Snow White in ‘Snow, Glass, Apples’, Kelley Armstrong draws us into her unique mythos with a troublesome toy in ‘Just Your Standard Haunted Doll Drama’, and Helen Grant imagines a curse on a much bigger scale in ‘A Curse is a Curse.’
