Combining the timeless fairy tales that we all read as children
with the out-of-time technological wizardry that is steampunk, this
collection of stories blends the old and the new in ways sure to
engage every fantasy reader....
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Red Shoes," "New York
Times" bestselling author K. W. Jeter's "La Valse" forges a fable
about love, the decadence of technology, and a gala dance that
becomes the obsession of a young engineer--and the doom of those
who partake in it....
In "You Will Attend Until Beauty Awakens," national bestselling
author and John W. Campbell Award winner Jay Lake tells the story
of Sleeping Beauty--and how the princess was conceived in
deception, raised in danger, and rescued by a prince who may be
less than valiant.
The tale of "The Tinderbox" takes a turn into the surreal when a
damaged young soldier comes into possession of an intricate,
treacherous treasure and is drawn into a mission of mercy in
national bestselling author Kat Richardson's "The Hollow Hounds."
In "The Kings of Mount Golden," Hugo and World Fantasy Award
nominee Paul Di Filippo tells the story of a young man's search for
his heritage and a mechanical marvel that lies at the heart of a
sinister pact in this fascinating take on "The King of the Golden
Mountain."
