Charles de Lint recommends
Hex of the Witch (2023)
(Other Witch, book 1)
Heather G Harris
"Heather Harris is hands down one of my favourite writers. I love everything about her books and am just a little bit jealous of anyone who gets to read her for the first time."
The Tangleroot Palace (2021)
Marjorie M Liu
"This is a superb collection from start to finish. Mysterious, beautiful and strange, harsh and charming, it fires the emotional palate."
Finding Baba Yaga (2018)
Jane Yolen
"This is a Worm Ouroboros of a story, the old made new, the new made old, metaphors rubbing shoulders with painful truths. A book-length poem, Finding Baba Yaga is no gimmick but rather the only way the story could be told to deliver the impact that it does."
