Terri Windling

    Terri Windling je americká editorka, umelkyňa a esejistka, ktorá sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na mýty, folklór a magickú literatúru. Je považovaná za jednu z kľúčových postáv oživenia mýtickej fikcie, kde pôsobila ako inovatívna editorka a tvorca uznávaných knižných sérií. Jej diela, často inšpirované rozprávkami a nadprirodzenom, sa vyznačujú hlbokým porozumením archetypálnych príbehov a ich moderného spracovania. Ako umelkyňa aj spisovateľka sa Terri Windling venuje skúmaniu hraníc medzi realitou a fantáziou a jej vplyv na žáner špekulatívnej fikcie je nezanedbateľný.

      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. This reissue features an updated introduction by the book's original editor, the acclaimed Terri Windling.
