About this product

Product Information

'Dark and dreadful and persistently clever. Ortberg bloodily turns familiar tales inside out.' Rainbow Rowell 'A collection of stories delectable, formidable, and nimble. As a fantasist and short story writer, Ortberg is without peer.' Kelly Link 'Ortberg has a voracious appetite for poison apples, and a genius for finding the places in fairyland where all the bodies are buried. The Merry Spinster will ruin your most-loved fables, in the best possible way.' Charlie Jane Anders 'Ortberg has the sloe gin wit of Dorothy Parker and the soul of a Classics nerd. It's like both of them sat next to each other in The Merry Spinster and gossiped away. The result is an absolute delight.' John Scalzi 'Ortberg has created a Frankenstein's monster of familiar narratives . . . [that swings] between Terry Pratchett's satirical jocularity and Angela Carter's sinister, shrewd storytelling, and the result is gorgeous, unsettling, splenic, cruel, and wickedly smart. I've never read anything quite like them, and I bet, Dear Reader, that you haven't either.' Carmen Maria Machado A collection of darkly mischievous stories based on classic fairy tales. Sinister and inviting, familiar and alien all at the same time, The Merry Spinster updates traditional children's stories and fairy tales with elements of psychological horror, emotional clarity, and a keen sense of feminist mischief. Unfalteringly faithful to its beloved source material, The Merry Spinster also illuminates the unsuspected, and frequently alarming, emotional complexities at play in the stories we tell ourselves and each other as we tuck ourselves in for the night. Bed time will never be the same.

    The video I ordered was sent to me incredibly quickly, arriving the day after ordering. So excellent service from both the seller and Royal Mail. The video was very well packed to avoid any damage whilst in transit and was found to be as described and in very good condition. The cost inclusive of postage was very reasonable given it was a rare item. I can highly recommend this Ebay seller.

    Absolutely amazing sale experience! I accidentally smashed my favourite pint glass which I've owned for over 10 years, couldn't believe I found an exact replacement. The glass arrived in perfect and new condition without a scratch on it. Perfectly packaged and protected. Highly recommend this seller 😃 Item as described and great value. Postage was promt and even arrived a bit earlier then predicted date.
