SNOW WHITE, BLOOD RED - SIGNED FIRST HARD COVER. DATLOW, ELLEN & WINDLING, TERRI - (EDITED BY). NY: AvoNova, 1993. First Edition. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Hard Cover. Very Good / Very Good. ISBN: 0688109136. Overview: Once upon a time, fairy tales were for children . . . But no longer. This volume of wonders -- magical tales of trolls and ogres, of bewitched princesses and kingdoms accursed, penned by some of the most acclaimed fantasists of our day. But these are not bedtime stories designed to usher an innocent child gently into a realm of dreams. These are stories that bite -- lush and erotic, often dark and disturbing mystical journeys through a phantasmagoric landscape of distinctly adult sensibilities . . . where there is no such thing as happily ever after. Review: Some of these tales are enchanting; some are horrifying; most, like the originals, offer insight into human nature. Publishers Weekly. Featuring: Gahan Wilson, Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen and Leonard Rysdyk, Esther M. Freisner, Patricia A. McKillip, Caroline Stevermer, Ryan Edmonds, Susan Wade, Kathe Koja, and more. 411 PP.
