Louie asked Melissa Albert:

What are your favorite dark fairytale retellings?

Melissa Albert I adore Rosamund Hodge's Cruel Beauty, a dark and strange and incredibly inventive take on Beauty and the Beast. Helen Oyeyemi's Boy, Snow, Bird takes a scalpel to the Snow White tale and does things with it that will get your mind drunk. Also Naomi Novik's tale retellings are second to none: Uprooted is incredible and Spinning Silver is among the best books I've read.

Is there anywhere I can read the novella? I already have all three book and would be happy to pay for the novella, but I didn't know about the promo for it at the time it was offered. I have looked everywhere trying to find a copy.

Melliott asked Melissa Albert:

When asked for recommendations of other books similar to yours, you went with Lev Grossman's Magicians trilogy, but have you encountered Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, a bunch of gems specifically about falling through (or seeking out) portals?
