Description

Deep in the dark forest, a mysterious figure lives in a cottage that spins on birds' legs behind a fence topped with human skulls. This is the home of the Baba Yaga, a guardian of the water of life who 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. This collection brings together some of today's leading voices of women-in-horror as they pay tribute to the Baba Yaga, and explore the darker side of folklore. The stories in this book collect the guts and bones of some of the world's oldest witch tales and refashion them into something new, beautiful, and gruesome. Lyrical and brutal, each tale unfolds hidden truths about the all-devouring witch.
