Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Red Shoes”, New York Times best-selling author K. W. Jeter’s “La Valse” forges a fable about love, the decadence of technology, and a gala dance that becomes the obsession of a young engineer – and the doom of those who partake in it. In “You Will Attend Until Beauty Awakens”, national best-selling author and John W. Campbell Award winner Jay Lake tells the story of Sleeping Beauty – and how the princess was conceived in deception, raised in danger, and rescued by a prince who may be less than valiant. The tale of “The Tinderbox” takes a turn into the surreal when a damaged young soldier comes into possession of an intricate, treacherous treasure and is drawn into a mission of mercy in national best-selling author Kat Richardson’s “The Hollow Hounds”. In “The Kings of Mount Golden”, Hugo and World Fantasy Award nominee Paul Di Filippo tells the story of a young man’s search for his heritage and a mechanical marvel that lies at the heart of a sinister pact in this fascinating take on “The King of the Golden Mountain”.
