"Interpretations vary with delicious wildness., But what links the
stories is a folkloric power located on the outer edge of our
consciousness, yet which seems to burrow right into the centre of
our souls." --Daily Mail UK "This collection is weighty both in
mission and volume, and with most stories running at only a few
thousand words, it's a great one to, erm, peck at while you dream
of running wild deep in the forest." --Lauren McMenemy, Horror Tree
"A powerful literary reflection... Outstanding in its diversity and
interpretations, Into the Forest is very highly recommended not
just for horror collections, but for libraries strong in women's
literature, as well as for reader's book groups who would study the
legend and realities of the Baba Yaga folktale as it journeys into
the heart and soul of women's experiences and psychology." --Diane
Donovan, Midwest Book Review
"The stories in Into the Forest collect the guts and bones of some
of the world's oldest witch tales and refashion them into something
new, beautiful, and gruesome." -Foreword Reviews
"Into the Forest explores the folklore of Baba Yaga through new
tales, filled with transformation and retribution, from a masterful
group of authors. We travel back and forth in time, from Europe to
the American South as violence and madness drive the used, abused,
and betrayed into dense stretches of trees. There we find a path to
strength and power, to unearthing or becoming the otherworldly
Maiden, Mother, Crone." --Linda D. Addison, award-winning author,
HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master
"A lovely, thorned, haunted gathering of tales of what it means to
occupy a woman's body. Baba Yaga serves a reminder of the wildness
sleeping within all of us. This collection brings her roaring to
life." --Kristi DeMeester, author of Such a Pretty Smile
"Perfect for horror fans who can't get enough of folklore and
fairy-tale retellings that veer in unexpected directions."
--Booklist Starred Review
"Fans of folklore retellings will find plenty to enjoy."
--Publishers Weekly
