Unsettling Wonder Volume 1

by John Patrick Pazdziora (Editor), Katherine Langrish (Editor), Defne Çizakça (Editor)

All three issues of UNSETTLING WONDER Vol. 1, bound in a single 'Wonder Voyages', 'Wise Fools', and 'Fairy Brides'. An entrancing, haunting journey through fairy tales old and new. We craft and tell stories because we've stood on the uncertain edge between the waking world and our imagination, between enchantment and fear. And we remember other stories that help us build our own stories, scraps of lumber and fragments of narrative we gather together to make stories for ourselves. UNSETTLING WONDER is about going back to that place, that troubling, entrancing glimpse into story. We want to tell these tales, not as deconstruction or subversion, not as nostalgia or sentiment, but in the same way these stories have always been told-spun out and re-imagined by the tale-teller in the moment of telling, for the ones who hear it.
