The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm

The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Faeries, or creatures like them, can be found in almost every culture the world over — benevolent and terrifying, charming and exasperating, shifting shape from country to country, story to story, and moment to moment. In The Faery Reel, Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have asked some of today's best fantasists for short stories and poems that draw on the great wealth of world faery lore and classic faery literature, and update the old tales, or shine a bold new light on the old. This companion to the World Fantasy Award winner The Green Man is unique, provocative, and thoroughly magical — like the faeries themselves.

Review:

"New sequels help kids get through lazy summer days. Faery world fans will find much to savor in The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm, edited by Ellen Datlow and Terry Windling, a companion to their The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest. Among the 19 tales original to this collection, Gregory Frost's 'Tengu Mountain' and 'Foxwife' by Hiromi Goto both add flavor with a Japanese setting. Tanith Lee's contribution, 'Elvenbrood,' one of the darker stories, focuses on the child-stealing tendencies of faeries, while Steve Berman's more conventional 'The Price of Glamour' scatters glamour (the magical essence of faeries) and dust amid the streets of Victorian London. Other contributors include Neil Gaiman, Holly Black and Gregory Maguire." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Review:
