Summary

In her newest short fiction collection, beloved fantasy author Jane Yolen's dark side has fully emerged. Her vivid, startling, and thrilling tales of the supernatural-from icy-hearted witches to occasionally-innocent shapeshifters-reveal a classic storyteller at the height of her powers. "Jane Yolen is the Hans Christian Andersen of America" -The New York Times Welcome to the Midnight Circus-and watch your step. The dark imaginings of fantasy icon Jane Yolen are not for the faint of heart. In these sixteen brilliantly unnerving tales and poems, Central Park becomes a carnival where you can-but probably should not-transform into a wild beast. The Red Sea will be deadly to cross due to a plague of voracious angels. Meanwhile, the South Pole is no place for even a good man, regardless of whether he is living or dead. Wicked, solemn, chilling, and droll, the circus is ready for your visit-you just really won't want to arrive late
