VENGEANCE, SPURNED LOVE, ROMANCE, BEAUTY AND HORROR A FASCINATING AND FANTASTIC COLLECTION OF STORIES ABOUT THE FEY FOLK

They're immortal. They cannot lie. Often they are unnaturally beautiful or horrendously ugly. With a song or a glance or a single kiss they can bewitch. They are the Fey Folk. For centuries they have captivated us, in folktales and in fiction.

This is a collection of stories beyond romantic encounters with elves. They reveal the allure - and the horror - of the Fey world: the love of the dance, wild passion and decadence, and the drama of vengeance and spurned love. They offer a blend of queer sensibility with fairy tale magic, but are suitable for all adults, straight or gay, as the pains of self-discovery, acceptance, and of finding and losing and finding love once more are universal themes. Here are heroes and heroines seeking their own path and, when they are waylaid, the journey back is all the more interesting.

Contributors include YA fantasy author Holly Black, whose Spiderwick Chronicles series is shortly to be made into a major motion picture from Nickelodeon, and infamous Harry Potter fan-writer Cassandra Clare, whose first title in her YA fantasy trilogy Mortal Engines has been released to critical acclaim.

Steve Berman has long been fascinated with the fantastical. A Lambda Award-nominated editor and three-time nominee for a Gaylactic Spectrum Award, he is the author of ghost novel Vintage.
