Welcome to Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood—the fiercely stunning New York Times bestseller everyone is raving about!
Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: Her mother is stolen away—by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set.
Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind:
“Stay away from the Hazel Wood.”
Alice has long steered clear of her grandmother’s cultish fans. But now she has no choice but to ally with classmate Ellery Finch, a Hinterland superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began—and where she might find out how her own story went so wrong.
Don’t miss the New York Times bestselling sequel to The Hazel Wood, The Night Country, out now, or Tales from the Hinterland, coming January 12, 2021!

Books with Netflix's Damsel Vibes
Love it or hate it, the vibes in Netflix’s adaptation of Damsel were immaculate. Here’s some other books full of revenge-fueled anti-heroines and dark fairytale vibes.
The Fireborne Blade and Someone You Can Build A Nest In will be published later this spring, but I love them both too much to not include.
What are your favorite anti-fairytales?

The Inky Phoenix Submissions | Episode 2: To YA or not to YA?
I’ve fallen in love with a YA manuscript (could it be the one?) but we need to have a talk — do we want to come out of the gates publishing YA? I break down my thoughts in detail her and look forward to continuing the conversation on our Discord!
