Book Synopsis Fearsome Fairies by : E. Dearnley

Download or read book Fearsome Fairies written by E. Dearnley. This book was released on 2022-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fearsome Fairies taps into the enormous fascination with fairies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and includes cornerstone authors of the Weird genre such as Arthur Machen, M R James and Charlotte Riddell. You see - no, you do not, but I see - such curious faces: and the people to whom they belong flit about so oddly, often at your elbow when you least expect it, and looking close into your face, as if they were searching for someone - who may be thankful, I think, if they do not find him. There was an enormous fascination with fairies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which popularised depictions of benevolent, butterfly-winged beings and glittering pantomime figures. But the fae have always had a more sinister side. Taking inspiration from folk tales and medieval legends, the works of weird tale and ghost story writers such as Arthur Machen, M. R. James, Angela Carter and Charlotte Riddell show that fairies, goblins and other supernatural entities could be something far more unsettling. Delving into a frightening realm of otherworldly creatures from banshees to changelings, this new collection of stories revives and revels in the fearsome power of the fairy folk.

Book Synopsis Tales of the Fae by : E. Menozzi

Download or read book Tales of the Fae written by E. Menozzi. This book was released on 2022-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now you can get all four Modern Fae novellas in one box-set! Rogue Assassins Rescue the Queen. Don't lose your heart. Sorcha and Bryn team up with a pair of gargoyle assassins on a mission to bring back the kidnapped Faerie Queen. This companion novella tells the story of how the war between the Fae and the Underworld started and can be read before reading any of the Modern Fae novels. Vivian's Promise Even the shortest night is full of danger. Vivian runs away from her Summer Solstice wedding and into the arms of a Fae-blood Lord. This is a prequel novella in the Modern Fae series, but can be read as a stand-alone story before or after reading other books in the series. Eve the Immortal Forever is a long time to keep a secret. Eve and Liam's love survived the Wild Hunt, but can it withstand the test of immortality? This extended epilogue novella takes place after book one (Eve of the Fae) and before book two (Dawn of the Fae) in the Modern Fae series. Seren's Secret Demons may be deadly, but dragons can steal your heart. Seren, considered cursed by her Fae kin, meets a Dragon Fae prince who will fight anyone who says the two of them can't be together. This story takes place alongside the events of book two and should ideally be read after Dawn of the Fae to avoid spoilers for books one and two.

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman and master knitter Lisa Hoffman comes Faerie Knitting, a magical melding of words and yarn where the ordinary is turned into the extraordinary and where imagination becomes creation. The magic of storytelling and the magic of knitting—woven together in 14 original patterns inspired by each story. “How fairy tales are told and remembered has a great deal in common with knitting traditions. It is no mistake that we describe storytelling as knitting a tale, or weaving a story, or spinning a yarn.”—Alice Hoffman, from the Introduction of Faerie Knitting Featuring fourteen original fairy tales, Faerie Knitting is an entrancing collection of stories of love and loss, trust and perseverance. Seamlessly woven into the plot of each tale is a magical garment or accessory inspired by the bravery and self-reliance of the tale’s heroine and brought to life through an imaginative and bespoke knit pattern. From the Blue Heron Shawl and the Love Never Ending Cowl, to the Three Wishes Mittens and Amulet Necklace, each project is as wearable as it is magical. Lush, atmospheric photography captures the enchanted faerie domain while beautifully rendered charts and instructions are well suited for beginner and advanced knitters alike. Presented in an elegant linen case with foil accents that evoke the fairy tale tradition, Faerie Knitting is a rare gift for creators—and lovers—of magic.
