Fae by Rhonda Parrish & L.S. Johnson &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Meet Robin Goodfellow as you've never seen him before, watch damsels in distress rescue themselves, get swept away with the selkies and enjoy tales of hobs, green men, pixies and phookas. One thing is for certain, these are not your grandmother’s fairy tales.

Fairies have been both mischievous and malignant creatures throughout history. They’ve dwelt in forests, collected teeth or crafted shoes. Fae is full of stories that honor that rich history while exploring new and interesting takes on the fair folk from castles to computer technologies to modern midwifing, the Old World to Indianapolis.

Fae bridges traditional and modern styles, from the familiar feeling of a good old-fashioned fairy tale to urban fantasy and horror with a fae twist. This anthology covers a vast swath of the fairy story spectrum, making the old new and exploring lush settings with beautiful prose and complex characters.

With an introduction by Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman, and all new stories from Sidney Blaylock Jr., Amanda Block, Kari Castor, Beth Cato, Liz Colter, Rhonda Eikamp, Lor Graham, Alexis A. Hunter, L.S. Johnson, Jon Arthur Kitson, Adria Laycraft, Lauren Liebowitz, Christine Morgan, Shannon Phillips, Sara Puls, Laura VanArendonk Baugh, and Kristina Wojtaszek.

“The second consecutive book I've read that is a collection of short stories, but this is an anthology of short stories from different authors "sharing" a basic theme, of, as the title suggests, about Fae. Reading this book reminded me of reading a book that contained folk and fairy tales of Ireland in an Irish Lit class in college, in that, despite the varied settings, they seem to all invoke a time where the world seemed more mysterious. I use the quotation marks above when stating that the stories all share the same theme, because while the stories are all similar in that respect, they go off of that theme in different ways - some in the traditional, fair folk sense, others bringing in modern culture and technology into it. Each of the stories were unique and enjoyable in their own way, but the following stories I enjoyed for one particular reason or another...(1) Johnson's "Queen of the Lakes" for its darkness; (2) Kitson's "F.C.U." for its cleverness; (3) Eikamp's "Possession" for the American Civil War setting; and (4) Wojtaszek's "Solomon's Friend" for the mother/son relationship depicted. Again though, these stories, while may favorite, are part of a very strong collection of short stories, all of which were thoroughly enjoyable. If anyone has never read any stories dealing with these genre of literature (fairies, etc.), I would recommend this collection, as it gets at the strong points of moral themes, surprises, and mystery which makes the genre a good source of compelling reads.”
