More from Papaveria

“These bewitching poems and stories, always sensuous, sometimes sad, unwind a fevered world of magic and longing and young women who chance the uncanny and gain wisdom beyond their years.”

–Mike Allen, editor of Mythic Delirium

“The Winter Triptych is a gorgeous labyrinth of words, a vivid dream-​​world of ghosts, ruined towers, mad queens, and revenge biding its time. Its language is as rich as plum-​​cake, but it presents the reader with a challenge as well, parts that fit together like puzzle-​​pieces to form a story familiar and yet not, darker and stranger than the fairytale we remember.”

–-Theodora Goss, author of In the Forest of Forgetting

“Stunningly delicious! Cruel, beautiful and irresistible are C.S.E. Cooney’s characters and prose. Just when you thought fantasy had devolved into endless repetition, Jack o’ the Hills blows us all over the next hill and into the kingdom beyond. C.S.E. Cooney is a rare and exciting new talent. Whatever she offers us next, I’ll waiting in line to read.”

 – Ellen Kushner, author of Thomas the Rhymer
