A gorgeously illustrated collection of twelve original stories by the New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood and The Night Country. Journey into the Hinterland, a brutal and beautiful world where a young woman spends a night with Death, brides are wed to a mysterious house in the trees, and an enchantress is killed twice—and still lives. Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans alike, Tales from the Hinterland will include gorgeous illustrations by Jim Tierney, foil stamping, two-color interior printing, and two-color printed endpapers. Young adult fairytales have felt especially exciting to me in the last several years, not only for embracing diversity and inclusion, but because the stories themselves are just so dang creative — and often subversive (just the way I like ’em!). So tell us: what are your favorite YA fairytales these days? Whether they’re original stories or fresh new takes on classics, come shout them at us on Facebook and Twitter. We’ll gather up your answers and be back next week to share a roundup with your fellow Riot readers. Let’s all bask in the warm hug of a story where goodness prevails, or at least shakes sh*t up trying.
