Fairy tales are endless. Various takes on fairy tales for the modern era have been written about here at City on the Moon, from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Season of Storms to Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver. The fairy tale is one of the earliest forms of fiction and one of the few genres to truly adapt to the times. These are tales meant to teach, to warn, and to help their audience find their ways in the world. Fairy tales have been spoken aloud, written as short stories, filmed as movies, and transformed into poetry. Finding Baba Yaga: A Short Novel in Verse follows the tradition of Geothe’s “Erlkönig” and turns a familiar fairy tales into a work of epic poetry.
