You've got to check out Dahlia's Twitter thread where she lists each story's title, and the spins on the original fairy tales we'll be getting in At Midnight. A gender-reimagined, sapphic Rumlplestiltskin from Dahlia herself, a hijabi Little Red Riding Hood from Hafsah Faizal, a trans Snow White from H. E. Edgmon, an Indigenous Puss in Boots from Darcie Little Badger, and many more! And if you're taking part in my Fairy Tale Retellings 2022 Reading Challenge, it counts for the prompt for a collection or anthology of fairy tale retellings, and several others! Honestly, it's going to be incredible! So get pre-ordering!
