Ebony, Blood, and Snow

The debut story collection by Tish Black coming in Spring 2024.

How did Snow White’s mother become so vain? What if Cinderella didn’t go to the ball? When does the maiden become the monster?

Inspired by familiar fairy tales, author Tish Black’s debut short story collection takes the tales in new directions and rewrites history. Little Red hunts wolves, Gretel helps the witch, and Bluebeard’s wife gets revenge. These unconventional heroines fight the patriarchy with no time for romance— unless it’s queer. Fans of Angela Carter’s radical feminist fairy tale retellings will find a kindred spirit in Black’s collection of transgressive stories.
