Here’s the first glimpse of the cover of a new anthology coming soon from Snowbooks.
It’s edited by Scott Harrison, who always comes up with intriguing concepts for anthologies, so he’s a lot of fun to work with. This time around the theme is retellings (or reimaginings) of stories from ancient mythology, folklore, legend and Biblical tropes. I looked at dryads, because – well, I love trees, and walking in the deep dark woods, and I’d started doing a lot of research about yews which sent me spinning off in a rather sinister direction. Which, as you probably know, I rather enjoy.
