From an established writer of empowering literature comes a first fictional collection - of transformational power. Written with visceral intensity the landscapes provide readers with portals to worlds where anything is possible. Drawing on N. European folklore rather than Greek myth or male-interpreted fairy tales, these are the original feminist voices. Sharing revenge and rebirth, capturing love and shaking off the past, changing the elements and shedding skins, they are heroines all. Each shapeshifting woman has an extraordinary story of change and survival to tell, and each story is born out of a regional folk tale. Ranging from Iceland to Ireland, Scotland to Scandanavia, Croatia to Cornwall this is a compelling journey in the company of a masterful storyteller.

Helvedesgavlen er en stor balstyrisk og karnevalistisk roman om 12 drager, en håndfuld adelige og alle deres venner, en tigerhun, et dukketeater, en sexrobot og en digter der til tider er tre. Et voluminøst stykke litteratur, hvor tid, sted og fortællerstemme enten modulerer langsomt, lyrisk og sfærisk - i et drømmeagtigt eventyrlandskab - eller transcenderer voldsomt, vulgært og stødvist, mens personer korpulerende skifter identitet og steder bytter plads.Major Sørensen har arbejdet på romanen i over ti år og han har, uvidende om deres eksistens, nærmet sig de store episke tv-serier der i de senere år har domineret på Netflix og specielt HBO. Dette kan ses i bogens kalejdoskopiske fortælleform, men også mere konkret med inklusionen af drager og sexrobotter, der i de senere år har fået helt nye og mere prominente pladser i popkulturen med tv-serierne Game of Thrones og Westworlds succes.Preben Major Sørensen (f. 1937) debuterede i 1965 med novellesamlingen Ildmesteren og har siden da specialiseret sig indenfor en egenartet form for fantastisk fortælling med novellen og kortprosaen som udgangspunkt. Tre gange tidligere har han udgivet hvad han selv har karakteriseret som romaner, Af en engels erindring (1976), Søvnen og skyggerne (1987) og Barnet (2010), men traditionelle romaner har der ikke været tale om. Med Helvedsgavlen udgiver han sin mest traditionelle til dato, hvad det så end siger.

In The Ancient Way, River Jordan explores doorways to thin places made accessible through the Celtic spiritual tradition. With her warm and personal approach, she explores a set of practices that help form a path for a deeper spiritual awakening. Readers will be moved to renew their faith by incorporating the basic components that make Celtic Christianity something authentic and pertinent to modern life and an over-busy culture. At the close of Jordan's previous book, Confessions of a Christian Mystic, she writes of the thin place she's been seeking--that mystical and divine doorway into the presence of God--as being inside of her all along. In this follow-up book, she explores ways that door can be made accessible to everyone to inform and transform readers' daily lives.

Not since Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber have old stories been made to feel so electrically new. Not since Wim Winders' Wings of Desire have the numinous and the everyday been so magically combined.

Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from their home in the city. But when Bryony is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an abandoned manor, she stumbles into a house full of dark enchantments. Is the Beast that lives there her captor, or a fellow prisoner? Is the house her enemy or her ally? And why are roses blooming out of season in the courtyard?Armed only with gardening shears and her wits, Bryony must untangle the secrets of the house before she,or the Beast,are swallowed by them.

A detailed and easy to use resource for Fairylore.
