Lush and deliciously sinister fairytales to be consumed as greedily as Turkish delight or any fairy fruit. I loved these. Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble This inventive, enchanting collection reads like the fairy tales of old, hushed stories passed woman to woman, before the Grimms came and wiped away all the blood. Laura Ruby, author of Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All The writing is as spare and precise as poetry, connected to the darker, edgier elements of fairy-tale conventions. Alberts rich and tightly focused collection forms the core of the mythology created in her novels, and her fans will be thrilled at this further glimpse into that world. Booklist, starred review Stories fueled by feminist rage, the frustration of being unnderestimated, and the insatiable longing to experience more mark this collection as timely and universal. SLJ
