Silver Birch, Blood Moon by Ellen Datlow

The originals were frequently darker-and in Silver Birch, Blood Moon, they turn darker still.

But, as World Fantasy Award-winning editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling remind us, these stories were often tamed and sanitized versions. Long ago, when we were children, our dreams were inspired by the fairy tales we heard at our mothers' and grandmothers' knees-stories of princesses and princes and witches and wondrous enchantments, by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, and from the pages of 1001 Arabian Nights.
