Description
A haunting collection of dark fairy tales, "My Lady of Plagues and Other Gothic Fairy Tales" contains stories set in monster-infested woods and in elf-plowed lava fields; in modern-day Jerusalem and in medieval Venice; among deadly flowers and inside the body of a giant. Wildly imaginative and ranging in tone from gruesome to lyrical, these stories include new and surprising takes on traditional fairy tales ("Jack the Giant Killer" and "My Lady of Plagues"); bold feminist revisions of classic Greek myths ("Wings" and "Rattlesnake"); and contemporary political horror ("Death in Jerusalem" and "Alexei's Godmother"). Award-winning author and academic Elana Gomel brings her unique vision and her knowledge of fairy tales to create a kaleidoscopic collection of old and new stories that take you on a dark journey into magical realms you will never forget.
