The Evil Editrix
I'm not evil, really. It just takes me an age to get anything done. I am the editor of two magazines, both published by Prime Books. Cabinet des Fées began as a labor of love with myself, Helen Pilinovsky and Catherine Valente combining our resources to provide a journal including academic articles and fiction from the field of fairy tales. I handle all fiction submissions for the journal. Jabberwocky was offered to me in 2007 and so, beginning 2008, this annual publication will also be edited by me.
Cabinet des Fées proudly presents the line-up for our first issue: here you'll find baubles and bling, rivers and roses, fools and fairies-you'll encounter children who know too much and adults who don't know when to leave well enough alone. We give you cautionary tales, tales of revenge and of the things we'll do for love. You'll find re-imaginings of of the traditional tales as well as several new.
This second double-sized issue of Cabinet des FÈes brings you more new explorations of the fairy tale in fiction and fact. Here you'll cross paths with ghosts and giants, imps and unicorns, discover new twists on sleeping beauties and ugly stepsisters, and explore how such geniuses as Angela Carter brought their own unique visions to bear in retelling these dark and timeless delights. Into the woods we go . . .
The elements and bedrock of Jabberwocky can be largely described as the —ical approach: lyrical, whimsical, mythical, in all its forms, particularly short fiction, poetry, and illustrative. There are no boundaries, no restrictions, no genres.
