    Top Ten "Fairy" Fictions

    An interesting list. Notable for the inclusion of Angela Carter, who was brilliant and who is not read by many:

    "With age came wisdom. Sometimes wisdom came with an ass kicking, too. And nothing could kick ass like the whole world." -The character "Horn" ruminating on his circumstances. The Decaying Mansions of Memory, by Jay Lake.

    You, too, can get a copy of Lorelei and the Lost and Found Monster from Amazon.com.

    That's a fascinating list of books I've never heard of before. Looks like they'd be worth checking out. The "Briar Rose" book was especially intriguing, and quite timely to me. I have a Sleeping Beauty plot going on between a gay couple in one of my RPs. XD Though it's only a minor episode in a larger arc full of similar fairytale occurrences.

    Briar Rose is a good book, and worth reading. Jane Yolen is a good writer. I've never read anything by Angela Carter that wasn't very well done indeed, so that's another good one from the list
