THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS

Jane Yolen

In the newest volume of her World Fantasy Award-winning short story collections, beloved author Jane Yolen's dark side has fully emerged. Her vivid, startling, and thrilling tales and poems of the supernatural?from icy-hearted witches to sometimes-innocent shapeshifters?reveal a classic storyteller at the height of her powers.

Welcome to the Midnight Circus?and watch your step. The dark imaginings of fantasy icon Jane Yolen are not for the faint of heart. In these sixteen brilliantly unnerving tales and poems, Central Park becomes a carnival where you can?but probably shouldn't?transform into a wild beast. The Red Sea will be deadly to cross due to a plague of voracious angels. Meanwhile, the South Pole is no place for even a good man, regardless of whether he is living or dead.

Wicked, solemn, and chilling, the circus is ready for your visit?just don't arrive late.

“Nebula Award winner Yolen follows How to Fracture a Fairy Tale with another, slightly more sinister collection of delightfully dark fairy tales. Each of the 16 stories is coupled with a companion poem and fascinating story notes that allow readers to delve into Yolen's magical worlds . . . Yolen's many fans will be thrilled to find her largely true to form. This collection is a gift for fairy tale lovers.”

"Jane Yolen is the Hans Christian Andersen of America"

"...if the stories themselves somehow aren't enough, each is accompanied by a poem that extends its themes into evocative verse. Haunting stories from a modern master.”
