About the Author:
Ever since award-winning author Tim Pratt (Briarpatch, Marla Mason series) and New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely series, Graveminder) first met, they bonded over their love of short fiction, myth, North Carolina, and Heart of Darkness. After years of discussing finding a project to do together, they landed on Rags & Bones. The results have far surpassed their hopes.
Review:
Praise for "Rags & Bones" A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Pick
* "There are no rags and bones here; each of these stories and illustrations is sumptuously clothed and fully fleshed out, so that readers will not need to be familiar with the originals to enjoy the newly imagined versions." "BCCB (starred review)""
"While the tone varies from witty to poignant, from lush and sensual to dry and didactic, the stories share a darkly fantastic sensibility, often with a horrific undercurrent...A thoughtful selection of exquisite literary amuse-bouches." ""Kirkus Reviews"""
"[An] eclectic anthology...plenty for readers to savor." ""Publishers Weekly"""
"An interesting mix of fantasy, science fiction, and horror-well written and highly varied-that is sure to appeal to older teens..." ""School Library Journal"""
."..Most of the stories-wildly various, like their predecessors-hit their mark and brilliantly contemporize themes considered decades in the past." ""VOYA"""
"Extraordinary. "Rags and Bones "unearths new meaning in classic tales, and new power, and new beauty. If this isn't magic, I don't know what it." "Lev Grossman, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Magicians"""
