About the Book:

Full of glimpses into gleaming worlds and fairy tales with teeth, Seasons of Glass & Iron is a restlessly inventive masterclass in speculative fiction writing.

With confidence and style, El-Mohtar guides us through exquisitely told and sharply observed tales about life as it is, was, and could be. Like miscellany from other worlds, these stories are told in letters, diary entries, reference materials, folktales, and lyrical prose.
