Terri Windling writes and edits mythic fantasy, fairy-tale retellings and books that connect folklore with contemporary life. Her novel The Wood Wife follows a poet who inherits a house in the Arizona desert and gradually encounters the landscape's hidden mythic inhabitants, blending artistic inheritance, local ecology and folklore. Windling is equally important as an editor: the Borderland series helped establish an early form of urban fantasy by imagining a city where the human world meets Faerie, while the adult fairy-tale anthologies she edited with Ellen Datlow recast familiar stories in darker contemporary forms. Her essays and illustrated work also return to myth, landscape and the creative process. Her books fit mythic fiction, fairy-tale retellings and urban fantasy, particularly for readers of Charles de Lint, Ellen Kushner and modern folklore-based fantasy. Read more Less
