Description

In her debut collection, Holly Black returns to the world of Tithe in two darkly exquisite new tales. Then Black takes readers on a tour of a faerie market and introduces a girl poisonous to the touch and another who challenges the devil to a competitive eating match. Some of these stories have been published in anthologies such as 21 Proms, The Faery Reel, and The Restless Dead, and many have been reprinted in many “Best of” anthologies.

Her ability to stare into the void—and to find humanity and humor there—will speak to young adult and adult readers alike.

Illustrated by Theo Black.

Holly Black lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Theo, in a house with a secret library.

Pick your poison: vampires, devils, werewolves, faeries, or ...? Find them all here in The Poison Eaters, Holly Black’s first collection.
