In the midst of a fight for survival, a tree meets its match.A mermaid falls in love with a prince made of stone.A series of parents, hungry for their own children, call upon the Pied Piper. Drawing from fairy tales, mythology, and the Bible, the eleven stories in this volume mix fantasy, horror, and experimental fiction, challenging the reader to explore new versions of some of literature's most familiar tales. In Lentils in Black Rice, marrying a prince might not always bring happiness, wolves and girls can be each other's saviors, and the worst demons might be sprung from our own minds.
