Get the full book details here Tales in Firelight and Shadow is a collection of short stories by well-known and fresh new writers of fantasy, speculative and science fiction, retelling folktales from many lands and cultures. James Morrow's museum curator and his university professor daughter discover the ultimate answer to the human condition; Mary Turzillo's talking cat rats on a legendary illusionist; Tenea D. Johnson's fairies deal with dream dolls of nightmare; and Christina St. Clair's loving wife on the ultimate spiritual quest seems to have gone horribly astray. Writers testing the speculative waters with their risk-taking styles captivate and enchant us: an adventurous young professional tries out a new eatery, with disastrous results; a haunted lake binds the horrors of the slaveholding past to the land's future; a boy steals what a Scottish fairy has no intention of parting with. Shadowy stalkers haunt forests and dreams, and fairytales and urban legends become the stuff of personal memory. These folktales retold answer the oldest of our questions: "Why is my world as it is, and how can I find my way through it?" If folktales exorcize the pain of lessons learned over our collective lifetimes, then in this world of fairy, flame and chaos, enchantment??"we realize with a start??"is the only reality. We dream so that we may open our eyes. Words: 38800 Ebook Price: $5.99 Grab this book now! No membership needed. Download PDF, EPUB and MOBI straight after payment.
