Terri Windling

    Terri Windling est une éditrice, artiste et essayiste américaine dont l'œuvre explore les thèmes du mythe, du folklore et de la littérature magique. Elle est reconnue comme une force motrice essentielle du renouveau de la fiction mythique, distinguée par son travail éditorial innovant et la création de séries de livres acclamées. Son écriture, profondément inspirée par les contes de fées et le surnaturel, explore avec brio des récits archétypaux et leurs réinterprétations contemporaines. À travers son double rôle d'artiste et d'auteure, Windling navigue habilement dans les espaces liminaires entre la réalité et la fantaisie, laissant une empreinte significative dans le paysage de la fiction spéculative.

      The award-winning editors of Snow White, Blood Red return us to distinctly adult realms of myth and the fantastic -- with 18 wondrous works that cloak the magical fictions we heard at grandma's knee in mantles of darkness and dread. From Roger Zelansky's delightful tale of Death's disobedient godson to Peter Straub's blood-chilling examination of a gargantuan Cinderella and her terrible twisted "art," here are stories strange and miraculous -- remarkable modern storytelling that remold our most cherished childhood fables into things sexier, more sinister... and more appealing to grown-up tastes and sensibilities.

      In the ancient Scottish ballad "Tam Lin," headstrong Janet defies Tam Lin to walk in her own land of Carterhaugh . . . and then must battle the Queen of Faery for possession of her lover's body and soul. In this version of "Tam Lin," masterfully crafted by Pamela Dean, Janet is a college student, "Carterhaugh" is Carter Hall at the university where her father teaches, and Tam Lin is a boy named Thomas Lane. Set against the backdrop of the early 1970s, imbued with wit, poetry, romance, and magic, Tam Lin has become a cult classic; and once you begin reading, you'll know why.
