Given that one of her finest and most iconic novels, Briar Rose, seamlessly combines fairy tale with holocaust narrative in a way that is approachable but does not talk down to younger readers, perhaps the strength of Yolen’s darker writing should not be a surprise. This collection shows that Yolen’s work is unafraid to embrace the dark side, and can be incredibly effective when it does so.
Yolen has had stories in Year’s Best Horror Stories and been nominated for horror awards. One would not immediately associate Yolen with dark fantasy and horror, but her latest collection from Tachyon, The Midnight Circus (2020), focuses specifically on this aspect of her work. From the fairytale retellings Snow In Summer (2011) and Briar Rose (1992) to the excellent science fiction of Cards of Grief (1985), her work covers the spectrum of genre fiction and is well beloved by generations of fans. Jane Yolen is one of the key voices of the Fantasy genre.
