A sci-fi/fantasy revival 200+ years in the making. When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm started putting out their now-classic fairy tales more than two centuries ago, their work was revolutionary. Although we can now look back on those fairy tales and see in them elements that have become cultural touchstones, there was nothing like them at the time. It was because they were so unique and so captivating that people could not get enough of them. Parents shared them with their children, grandparents shared them with their grandchildren, and friends shared them with each other. All the same, even the…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A sci-fi/fantasy revival 200+ years in the making. When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm started putting out their now-classic fairy tales more than two centuries ago, their work was revolutionary. Although we can now look back on those fairy tales and see in them elements that have become cultural touchstones, there was nothing like them at the time. It was because they were so unique and so captivating that people could not get enough of them. Parents shared them with their children, grandparents shared them with their grandchildren, and friends shared them with each other. All the same, even the greatest innovations and the most engaging stories can use a refresh once in a while. That is what this compendium is about. Rather than reprinting the Grimm fairy tales that we all know and love, we have brought together eight giants of sci-fi/fantasy to reimagine and reinvigorate them. These giants are: Arlene Marks Ed Greenwood Gama Martinez LJ Hachmeister Lucienne Diver Richard Lee Byers Susan Morris Vivian Caethe Some boasting best-seller status, some emerging with voices unlike any other, each of these authors has carefully crafted a dark-fantasy or science-fiction version of a Grimm fairy tale. Within the compendium, you will find never-before-told iterations of "Sleeping Beauty," "Hansel and Gretel," "Snow White," "The Robber Bridegroom," and more. Online dating, H. H. Holmes's Murder Castle, and the malevolent forces of Hell all add strange twists to the formats that the Brothers Grimm left for us. There is a surprise on every page - and every surprise wonderfully reminiscent of tropes passed down through the generations.
Autorenporträt
Arlene F. Marks has been writing since the age of 6, and she has no plans to stop. A veteran teacher of the craft, she has authored two popular literacy programs for the classroom. Her short stories have appeared online and in print, notably in an anthology of reimagined fairy tales, Grimmer Tales Volume One. She is also the author of the Sic Transit Terra space opera series (from Edge Publishing) and Adventures in Godhood, her first of several recent releases from Brain Lag Publishing. The Stragori Deception, the next instalment of Sic Transit Terra, will be released later this year. Arlene lives with her husband on the shore of beautiful Nottawasaga Bay, where she spends time exploring imaginary worlds, collecting interesting-looking owls, and dreaming of one day having a tidy, well-organized office. www.thewritersnest.ca
