The award-winning editors of Snow White, Blood Red return us to
distinctly adult realms of myth and the fantastic -- with 18 wondrous
works that cloak the magical fictions we heard at grandma's knee in
mantles of darkness and dread. From Roger Zelansky's delightful tale
of Death's disobedient godson to Peter Straub's blood-chilling
examination of a gargantuan Cinderella and her terrible twisted "art,"
here are stories strange and miraculous -- remarkable modern
storytelling that remold our most cherished childhood fables into
things sexier, more sinister... and more appealing to grown-up tastes
and sensibilities.
