About the book

A gorgeously illustrated collection of twelve "lush and deliciously sinister fairy tales" (Kelly Link) by the New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood and The Night Country!

Before The Hazel Wood, there was Althea Proserpine's Tales from the Hinterland...

Journey into the Hinterland, a brutal and beautiful world where a young woman spends a night with Death, brides are wed to a mysterious house in the trees, and an enchantress is killed twice-and still lives.

Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans alike, Melissa Albert's Tales from the Hinterland features full-page illustrations by Jim Tierney, two-color interior printing, and printed endpapers.

    A nice collection of dark fairy tales, though a bit repetitive at times. As far as folk tales go, very accurate representation, and beautiful prose. Most of it was tragic though

    Twelve original, captivating and utterly dark fairy tales. Diverting and beautifully written.

    This book works very well, if one only reads one story at a time, but for me, reading it in one go, it felt a bit repetitive and not too engaging. I still enjoyed to get back into this world and the stories themselves are interesting and well-written. Just sadly didn't pull me in as much as I hoped.
