Foolish Hopes and Spilled Entrails: Retellings by Devan Barlow

Description

A girl bargains with a dragon. A woman dons the Green Knight's armor. A princess atop a glass hill hurls fruit at would-be rescuers.

Humorous, terrifying, and downright strange retellings lurk in these poems and stories – many published for the first time in this collection, including the all-new Arthurian timeloop novella "All The Ways We Drown" in which Elaine of Astolat and Elaine of Corbenic take matters into their own hands.
