Tangled Webs and Other Imaginary Weaving by Laura J. Underwood

Why is it unsafe to step off the road and into the bog of Tanforan? How can a princess reveal a murderer when she has no tongue? What secret lies in a castle held together by strands of spider silk? And just what is it that makes the stones of Nevermhor dance under the moon? Come meet beasties and bogies and all manner of fey things that go bump in the night. Whisht hounds and wraiths and selkies and firbolgs abound in this collection of fifteen new and reprint fairy tales from the pen of fantasy author Laura J. Underwood. 

"Laura J. Underwood's Tangled Webs is a highly readable page turner, the highest fantasy with long, warm quaffs of magic. Her worlds are well researched and conceived. I look forward to returning there soon." 

--Mark Shepherd, author of Elvendude and Blackrose Avenue 

"A wonderful journey to realms of enchantment where magic is the thread of which dreams and nightmares alike are skillfully woven." 
--Esther Friesner, author of Wishing Season 

"Laura J. Underwood is certainly one of the major fantasy writers today..." 
--Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of Mists of Avalon
