Items related to Wicked Wood (Tales from the Tower): Volume 2
The brainchild of international fantasy superstar, Isobelle Carmody, and writer and editor, Nan McNab, each story is surprising, fresh, thought-provoking and spell-binding. Like Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, the plots and characters diverge from the original tales but resonate with the same deep feelings and mysterious atmosphere. Each story will be accompanied by an author note explaining what drew them to a particular tale.
You will find in this collection universal themes of envy and jealousy, deception and abandonment, control and power, courage and sacrifice, violence and deception. Characters are enchanted, they transgress, they yearn, they hunger, they hate and sometimes, they kill.
Some of the stories inhabit a traditional fairytale world, while others are set in the distant future. Some are set in the present and some in an alternative present. The stories offer no prescription for living or moral advice and none belong in a nursery.

In this companion to The Wilful Eye, six much-loved writers - Catherine Bateson, Victor Kelleher, Cate Kennedy, Maureen McCarthy, Nan McNab and Kate Thompson - give fresh voice to age-old stories of abandonment, desire and entrapment.Praise for Volume One:'The writers in The Wilful Eye imbue all of their characters, including the villains, with a deep sense of psychological realism, producing often tender, engaging, and insightful results. Unnamed soldiers and hideous beasts are given a voice, even if that voice is at times unsettling, and wolves are still wolves, however they disguise themselves.' Australian Book Review'sublime, with each tale landing a punch squarely between the old and the new, bewitching and terrifying.'
