Once Upon an Autumn: A Folk and Fairy Tale Anthology

An orphaned girl finds more than she bargained for when she falls into a fairy ring.

A heartbroken wizard faces up to God to bring his dog back from the dead.

A newly-graduated witch discovers horror lurking in a small town's apple orchard.

A sceptical tour guide takes an unusual job at a haunted house.

Once upon a time stories travelled from place to place on the tongues of merchants and thieves and kings alike. Pumpkins were carved, leaves turned golden, and whisperings from the darkening woods inspired tales of the strange and the dead.

In the spirit of these age-old stories comes Once Upon an Autumn, a seasonal anthology of folk and fairy tales from 14 authors across the globe. It covers the Gothic, the romantic, the whimsical, the frightening, and everything in-between.

The final of four planned seasonal anthologies from Macfarlane Lantern Publishing, Once Upon an Autumn is sure to have a story for just about everyone. Grab your copy in time for Hallowe'en today!
