Description
"Poetry in all that she does is her hallmark, and few are able to equal it . . ." -- Charles L. Grant
When Janet Fox's story "Witches" appeared in Tales By Moonlight, the editor (noted author and critic Jessica Amanda Salmonson) described Janet Fox by saying: "A regular in Year's Best Horror Stories, she has published in Amazons!, Fantastic, Moonbroth, Space & Time, Year's Best Fantasy, and many other magazines and anthologies." She might have added: Whispers, Shadows, Fears, and The Twilight Zone Magazine, among others.
Salmonson went on to write: "If it weren't so damnably hard to sell a single-author short story collection nowadays, one of the best books of the year would be the The Best of Janet Fox. The lead story might well be 'Witches'."
Witches have proved to be a successful theme for many of Janet Fox's stories, including the lead tale in this book . . . "Witches." Here are the contents of this marvelous and long-overdue collection:
"Witches," from Tales by Moonlight; "Small Magic," from Amazing Stories; "In the Kingdom of the Thorn," from Whispers; "A Witch in Time" and "Demon & Demoiselle" from Fantastic Stories; "Morrien's Bitch," from Amazons!; "Screaming to Get Out," from Weirdbook; "Valentine," from Shadows; "Taking Care of Bertie," from Eldritch Tales; "The Skins You Love to Touch, from Shadows; "Garage Sale," from The Twilight Zone Magazine; "Surrogate," from Fears; and "Alliances" (a sequel to "Morrien's Bitch"), which is new in this volume.

Janet Fox has worn many hats-English teacher, oceanographer, rock band singer-but her favorite is "award-winning children's author." She's written thirteen books for kids and teens, from science nonfiction to mysterious middle grade to swoony YA. Janet holds an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and lives in Montana with her husband, a lively yellow lab. When she's not writing, she helps fellow storytellers find their voice and bring their best work to life. Her stories are full of heart and always have just a touch of magic. Janet is represented by Erin Murphy.
