Waiting on Wednesday (86): Faery Tales & Nightmares by Melissa Marr

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Faery Tales & Nightmares by Melissa Marr
Publisher: Harper Collins Canada
Publish Date: February 21, 2012
Publisher's Description
Faery Tales and Nightmares is a collection of short stories.

Current Table of Contents:
"Where Nightmares Walk"
"Winter's Kiss" (Fairy Tales)
"Transition" (Vampires)
"Love Struck" (Selchies)
"Stopping Time" (WL World)
"Old Habits" (WL World)
"The Art of Waiting"
"Flesh for Comfort"
"The Sleeping Girl and the Sumer King" (WL World-ish, the short story that started the series)
"Cotton Candy Skies" (WL World)
"Unexpected Family" (WL World)
"Merely Mortal" (WL World)

I am a big fan of Melissa Marr, everything she writes is magic.  While most short story books I read are anthologies, I will make an exception when it's an author I'm already familiar with and I think that they can do justice to the story in short form.  Melissa Marr is that type of author!

    I haven't read any of Marr's books, but I do have some sitting on my shelf to get to eventually! This sounds pretty good too. :)

    Oh I'm really intrigued about this one. I wasn't a fan of her Wicked Lovely series (I really liked book 1 but book 2 was really disappointing for me). But I still want to see what this one's all about

    I, too cannot wait for this one! If it says Melissa Marr on it, I buy it. I'm a huge fan of hers. I think she is probably my favorite author!
