Rags & Bones: New Twists on Timeless Tales

(3) YA Illustrated by Charles Vess. Ten authors--well-known names in speculative fiction--and both editors share unexpected takes on fairy/folktales and classic literature. A few standouts: Marr's selkie-centric "Awakened" (inspired by Chopin's The Awakening), Rick Yancey's dystopian "When First We Were Gods" (inspired by Hawthorne's "The Birthmark"), and Neil Gaiman's sinister "The Sleeper and the Spindle" (inspired by "Sleeping Beauty"). Charles Vess contributes six delicate line drawings.
