East and South Asian folklore, retold
Sixteen short stories draw on East and South Asian folklore and mythology, moving among fantasy, science fiction, contemporary settings, romance, and tales of revenge. Their story premises include sisters who become birds to escape captivity, a young man confronting sacrifice, and a woman taking on her mother’s role guiding the dead. The anthology brings together work by sixteen Asian and South Asian authors, with an additional original story by editor Ellen Oh. Its range of genres and retellings gives the collection room to explore recurring folklore themes through distinct storylines.
