The characters of fairy tale--Jack with his beanstalk, Rapunzel in her tower, Puss and his boots--may seem like the comfortable and cuddly playthings of our childhood, but in the hands of writers like Gahan Wilson, Tanith Lee, and Jane Yolen, the charming stories in our memories take on a darker, more sinister edge.
"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."
