Snow White, Blood Red
Snow White, Blood Red | Ellen Datlow
11 posts | 18 read | 17 to read
Once upon a time, fairy tales were for children . . . But no longer. You hold in your hands a volume of wonders -- magical tales of trolls and ogres, of bewitched princesses and kingdoms accursed, penned by some of the most acclaimed fantasists of our day. But these are not bedtime stories designed to usher an innocent child gently into a realm of dreams. These are stories that bite -- lush and erotic, often dark and disturbing mystical journeys through a phantasmagoric landscape of distinctly adult sensibilities . . . where there is no such thing as "happily ever after."

These short story anthologies by editor-extraordinaires Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling from the 1990s helped usher in the age of #fairytaleretellings we have now. These reimaginings of fairy tales 'for adults' (YA/adults reading YA wasn't a thing yet) contain fantasy, horror, and fiction from the likes of NeilGaiman, JaneYolen, TanithLee, to JoyceCarolOates. The number of authors & stories are almost as limitless as the originals that inspire them.

slategreyskies I screenshot your picture, because I am going to try to find all of these. So far, with just a quick preliminary search, I was able to find three of them available at my library through interlibrary loan. Thanks so much for posting these! I haven't read them yet, but I know I'll love them! :) 7y
