What to expect
A collection of new and exclusive short stories inspired by the Baba Yaga, featuring Gwendolyn Kiste, Stephanie M. Wytovich, Mercedes M. Yardley, Monique Snyman, Donna Lynch, Lisa Quigley, and R. J. Joseph, with a foreword by Christina Henry.
Deep in the dark forest, in a cottage that spins on birds’ legs behind a fence topped with human skulls, lives the baba yaga. A guardian of the water of life, she lives with her sisters and takes to the skies in a giant mortar and pestle, creating tempests as she goes. Those who come across the baba yaga may find help, or hinderance, or horror. She is wild, she is woman, she is witch—and these are her tales.
Edited by Lindy Ryan, this collection brings together some of today’s leading voices of women-in-horror as they pay tribute to the baba yaga, and go Into the Forest.
Critics Review
“[A] stellar production. Whether a stereotypical crone, a misunderstood witch forced into hiding, or a misguided young woman, Baba Yaga is given a voice befitting the story…A magical production for fans of fairy tales and folklore.”
“Perfect for horror fans who can’t get enough of folklore and fairy-tale retellings that veer in unexpected directions.”
“Outstanding in its diversity and interpretations, Into the Forest is very highly recommended.”
“Brings together twenty-three dark, feminist fairy tales…Fans of folklore retellings will find plenty to enjoy.”
“The stories in Into the Forest collect the guts and bones of some of the world’ s oldest witch tales and refashion them into something new, beautiful, and gruesome.”
