“A classy, smart, and entertaining volume of stories put together
with consummate care—and featuring the best and most exciting
fantasy writers working in the field today.”
*Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times-bestselling author of the Southern
Reach trilogy*
"The modern revival of fairy tale fiction for adults began in the
20th century (with the stories of Angela Carter and Tanith Lee),
and The Starlit Wood is proof that the revival is still going
strong. Editors Parisien and Wolfe have brought a wide range of
writers together to blaze new trails through the dark of the woods.
Whether you're passionate about fairy tales, like I am, or haven't
read them since childhood, I recommend this excellent anthology. I
simply loved it."
*Terri Windling, World Fantasy Award-winning editor of the Snow
White, Blood Red series*
