    About this audiobook

    A gorgeous collection of twelve “lush and deliciously sinister fairy tales” (Kelly Link) by the New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood and The Night Country!

    Before The Hazel Wood, there was Althea Proserpine’s Tales from the Hinterland...

    Journey into the Hinterland, a brutal and beautiful world where a young woman spends a night with Death, brides are wed to a mysterious house in the trees, and an enchantress is killed twice—and still lives.

    Perfect for new listeners and dedicated fans alike.

    A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    "Albert’s rich and tightly focused collection forms the core of the mythology created in her novels, and her fans will be thrilled at this further glimpse into that world."—Booklist, starred review

    Editor's Note

    Dark fairy tales…

    The 12 fairy tales written by Althea Proserpine that form the crux of Melissa Albert’s “The Hazel Wood” are finally being told in their entirety in “Tales from the Hinterland.” A dark, gruesome series of stories about women exacting their revenge on a universe that abuses and underestimates them.
