Ellen Datlow Bücher

Diese Anthologie vereint die wohl außergewöhnlichsten Geschichten über die beliebten Mitternachtswesen. Von lustig bis bizarr, von romantisch bis spannend erzählen hochklassige Autoren der Fantasyliteratur ihre ganz eigene Geschichte über Vampire. Sie dachten, Sie wissen schon alles, was es über die Blutsauger zu wissen gibt? Die Autoren werden Sie eines Besseren belehren!

Wer glaubt das moderne Fantasy nur beschauliche Geschichten über Zauberer, Ritter und verwunschene Burgen zu bieten hat, den wird diese Anthologie auf eindrucksvolle Weise eines Besseren belehren. Zur faszinierenden Vielseitigkeit zeitgenössischer Phantastik gehören moderne Märchen, wo Helden das Glück lacht, ebenso wie Geschichten der „Dark Fantasy“, in denen dunkle, bedrohliche Mächte in den ganz realen Alltag eines Menschen brechen. Die achtundzwanzig erlesenen Geschichten dieser Sammlung spiegeln den unglaublichen Facettenreichtum heutiger Fantasy wider. Doch ganz gleich, ob sie die heiteren Seiten des Lebens betonen oder in die dunklen Tiefen der menschlichen Existenz führen, eines hanem sie alle gemeinsam: Sie bieten grandiose Leseabenteuer.

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. The "Snow White, Blood Red" Collection #1. Snow White, Blood Red #2. Black Thorn, White Rose #3. Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears #4. Black Swan, White Raven #5. Silver Birch, Blood Moon #6.
