ReviewsThis eclectic, often subversive collection will appeal to fairy tale fans who want something new and different., This anthology is consistent throughout, with well-crafted writing and a tantalizing taste of each author's unique journey into reimagining classic fairy tales for a new audience., Lots of strange and wonderful goings-on in The Starlit Wood. Fairy tales you thought you'd left behind in childhood are back in some very poignant, sly and original versions that will touch the Wow in most readers., The modern revival of fairy tale fiction for adults began in the 20th century (with the stories of Angela Carter and Tanith Lee), and The Starlit Wood is proof that the revival is still going strong. Editors Parisien and Wolfe have brought a wide range of writers together to blaze new trails through the dark of the woods. Whether you're passionate about fairy tales, like I am, or haven't read them since childhood, I recommend this excellent anthology. I simply loved it., The Starlit Wood, edited by Dominik Parisien & Navah Wolfe is one of the best fantasy compilations of the year., These lively, action-packed, and emotional tales by the best writers in sf/fantasy allow readers to root for their favorite team or discover new pleasures in an unfamiliar genre...Exceptional storytelling and well-paced writing make this volume a total delight., Clever, touching, frightening, funny and frequently surprising, The Starlit Wood shines with magical possibility., The all-original stories collected here provide a lively cross-section of current science-fiction and fantasy writers... It's a cliche to say there's something for everyone here, but in this surprisingly eclectic anthology there probably is., The stories range from hilarious to spine-tingling, and each one has its own enchanting qualities...This is a cinematic and well-paced collection and will please both science-fiction and fantasy readers with its variety. Team Robot or Team Fairy? Definitely both., A classy, smart, and entertaining volume of stories put together with consummate care--and featuring the best and most exciting fantasy writers working in the field today.
