Oracle Gretel

Originally posted by asakiyume at Oracle GretelJulia Rios has written a charming, funny, beautiful retelling of Oracle Gretel, with Hansel-the-Cat and tarot cards and a ouija board and silver shoes to take you where you need to go. It's lovely! AND, she has gotten Erik Amundsen to illustrate it. His stylized figures convey so much--I love his art style (he did this icon of M--, from my pen pal novel).

And then, on top of writing a wonderful story and getting great illustrations for it, she picked out beautiful end papers and covers for it--no two the same--and hand bound each chapbook. She read from this at WisCon, and the chapbooks were available for sale there. I don't know how many she has left, but if you know her, and if you don't have a copy, you might like to enquire! She may have them available at Readercon next month, if they're not all gone by then.
