Description

Pick your poison: Vampires, devils, werewolves, faeries, or . . .? Find them all here in Holly Black’s amazing first collection. In her debut collection, author Holly Black returns to the world of Tithe in two darkly exquisite new tales. Then Black takes readers on a tour of a faerie market and introduces a girl poisonous to the touch and another who challenges the devil to a competitive eating match. Some of these stories have been published in anthologies such as 21 Proms, The Faery Reel, and The Restless Dead, and many have been reprinted in many anthologies. The Poison Eaters is Holly Black’s much-anticipated first collection, and her ability to stare into the void--and to find humanity and humor there--will speak to young adult and adult readers alike. Illustrated by Theo Black. Holly Black is the author of Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale and two related novels, Valiant and Ironside. Her latest novel, Black Heart is the third of a new series, The Curseworkers. She and Tony DiTerlizzi created the Spiderwick Chronicles. Holly lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Theo, in a house with a secret library.
