FOREWORD BY GREGORY MAGUIRE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WICKEDWhen L. Frank Baum introduced Dorothy and friends to the American public in 1900, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" became an instant, bestselling hit. Today the whimsical tale remains a cultural phenomenon that continues to spawn wildly popular books, movies, and musicals. Now, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen have brought together leading fantasy writers such as Orson Scott Card and Seanan McGuire to create the ultimate anthology for Oz fans – and, really, any reader with an appetite for richly imagined worlds. Stories include: Frank Baum's son has the real experiences that his father later fictionalized in Orson Scott Card's “Off to See the Emperor.”Seanan McGuire's “Emeralds to Emeralds, Dust to Dust” finds Dorothy grown up, bitter, and still living in Oz. And she has a murder to solve – assuming Ozma will stop interfering with her life long enough to let her do her job.In “Blown Away,” Jane Yolen asks: What if Toto was dead and stuffed, Ozma was a circus freak, and everything you thought you knew as Oz was really right here in Kansas?"The Cobbler of Oz" by Jonathan Maberry explores a Winged Monkey with wings too small to let her fly. Her only chance to change that rests with the Silver Slippers.In Tad Williams's futuristic “The Boy Detective of Oz," Orlando investigates the corrupt Oz simulation of the Otherland network. And more…Some stories are dystopian…Some are dreamlike…All are undeniably Oz.Includes stories by these authors:Dale Bailey, Orson Scott Card, Rae Carson, David Farland, C.C. Finlay, Jeffrey Ford, Theodora Goss, Simon R. Green, Kat Howard, Ken Liu, Seanan McGuire, Jonathan Maberry, Rachel Swirsky, Robin Wasserman, Tad Williams, Jane YolenA Note On Suggested Reading Age:L. Frank Baum's original Oz books were works of children's fiction--albeit ones that have been known and loved by "children of all ages" throughout their existence. Though many of the stories contained in this anthology are also suitable for the aforementioned children of all ages, Oz Reimagined is intended for ages 13 and up, and as such, some of the stories deal with mature themes, so parental guidance is suggested.

Oz Reimagined

"Fear of the unknown--it is the essence of the best horror stories, the need to know what monstrous vision you're beholding and the underlying terror that you just might find out. Now, twenty authors have gathered to ask--and maybe answer--a question worthy of almost any horror tale: "What the #@ & % is that?"Join these masters of suspense as they take you to where the shadows grow long, and that which lurks at the corner of your vision is all too real"--Amazon.com.

You asked for it, and you got it.One year ago, we published "Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows" as an ebook, bringing together leading voices from ToweroftheHand.com, A Podcast of Ice and Fire, WinterIsComing.net, and InnattheCrossroads.com to blow open George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire." Now we're adding more special guests, more essays, and even behind-the-scenes information on just how this massive joint venture got off the ground in the first place.Even better, we went through all the old material and spruced it up. Think of this as the director's cut of the original book, polished and improved for your total reading pleasure.And what truly makes this a special collector's edition is the simple fact that it will only be available until November 1, 2013. After that day, THIS PRINT VERSION WILL NEVER BE OFFERED AGAIN -- not in any shape, not in any way, not in any form.Still want more info on what's on tap? Here's the original product listing for the original, ebook version of "A Flight of Sorrows." Please to enjoy:For the past seven years, we at ToweroftheHand.com have prided ourselves on being a premiere source of "A Song of Ice and Fire" analysis, information, and speculation. There has been nearly a metric ton of essays, forum posts, and encyclopedia entries logged at the site to date, all designed to give the hardest of the core fan the most rewarding experience possible while reading George R.R. Martin's seminal novels.And now we're taking all those years of mastery and applying them to an ebook."Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows" takes five of the site's most prolific authors - including its two founders - and draws out their best, most in-depth work yet. Unlike other "Ice and Fire" compendiums, the focus of these essays is on the narrative, character, and thematic elements of the story itself, as opposed to the literary aspects surrounding the books.Even better, the TOTH editors are joined by some of their good friends, who just so happen to be leading voices in the "Game of Thrones" community: A Podcast of Ice and Fire co-hosts Amin Javadi and Mimi Hoshut, WinterIsComing.net founder Phil Bicking, and "A Feast of Ice and Fire" co-author Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, along with noted fantasy editor and author Douglas Cohen.Altogether, the book's eight authors (and two special guests) cover a wide gamut of subjects and perspectives, from the most obvious to the most subtle, challenging readers to look at the novels they love so much in entirely new - and more enriching - ways.
