DescriptionWinter is not coming. Winter is here. As unique and beautifully formed as a snowflake, each of these fifteen stories spins a brand new tale or offers a fresh take on an old favorite like Jack Frost, The Snow Queen, or The Frog King. From a drafty castle to a blustery Japanese village, from a snow-packed road to the cozy hearth of a farmhouse, from an empty coffee house in Buffalo, New York, to a cold night outside a university library, these stories fully explore the perils and possibilities of the snow, wind, ice, and bone-chilling cold that traditional fairy tale characters seldom encounter.
In the bleak midwinter, heed the irresistible call of fairy tales. Just open these pages, snuggle down, and wait for an icy blast of fantasy to carry you away. With all new stories of love, adventure, sorrow, and triumph by Tina Anton, Amanda Bergloff, Gavin Bradley, L.A. Christensen, Steven Grimm, Christina Ruth Johnson, Rowan Lindstrom, Alison McBain, Aimee Ogden, J. Patrick Pazdziora, Lissa Marie Redmond, Anna Salonen, Lissa Sloan, Charity Tahmaseb, and David Turnbull to help you dream through the cold days and nights of this most dreaded season ContentsIntroduction by Kate Wolford

Christensen is the fiction-writing nom de plume for literary translator Laura Christensen. She specializes in French folktales and fairy tales which you can read at littletranslator.com. Steven Grimm is a writer living in Seattle, WA. He likes to dream of what classic fairy tales would be like today if, rather than being filtered through a millennium of Christendom, they had been spread by a thousand years of sorceresses—every tale still a moral one, its same storytelling elements intact, but with morals meant to raise children in their image. Christina Ruth Johnson has her master’s degree in art history and is currently working as a teacher and freelance writer. She has aspirations of becoming a novelist, or maybe an archaeologist, or maybe she will write and dig and teach all at once. Her work has previously appeared in Scheherezade’s Bequest.

She lives in Buffalo, New York with her husband Dan and two daughters, Natalie and Mary Grace. Anna Salonen writes speculative fiction in English and Finnish, and she is endlessly fascinated with dark fairy tales and mythology.

His most recent anthology inclusions are “Beware the Little White Rabbit” Leap Books and “We Can Improve You” Boo Books. |
