Faery Tales & Nightmares
A collection of short stories.
Dangerous promises and beguiling threats swirl together in a dozen stories of enchantments dark and light by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr. Uncanny and unexpected creatures appear from
behind bushes, rise from beneath the seas, or manifest from seasonal
storms to pursue the objects of their attention — with amorous or sinister intent — relentlessly.
From the gentle tones of a storyteller’s
cadences to the terror of a blood sacrifice, tales of favorite
characters from Marr’s Wicked Lovely novels mix with accounts of new

Lush, seductive, and chilling, Melissa Marr’s stories revel in the unseen magic that infuses the world as we know it.
