Appearances of Light in a Dark Time

About the Book

The stories in this collection are “modern fairy tales for grown-ups”. They use elements that still haunt our memories from the wonderful childhood stories by Grimm, Anderson, Carroll, Perrault, Barrie, Baum, Stoker and others to confront the strangeness of our own times: motifs of the fairy godmother, the frog and the prince, witches, trolls, Cinderella letting down her hair, a displaced Transylvanian—all become challenges and inspirations for modern characters.
