March 12 at 7:00 PM ET

Book Club – Join us on March 12th at 7PM ET to discuss Freya Marske’s fascinating novella, Cinder House! This Gothic “Cinderella” retelling delighted us with its originality, and we can’t wait to talk about it with you!

Here’s the publisher’s description:

“Ella is a haunting.

Murdered at sixteen, her ghost is furiously trapped in her father’s house, invisible to everyone except her stepmother and stepsisters.

Even when she discovers how to untether herself from her prison, there are limits. She cannot be seen or heard by the living people who surround her. Her family must never learn she is able to leave. And at the stroke of every midnight, she finds herself back on the staircase where she died.

Until she forges a wary friendship with a fairy charm-seller, and makes a bargain for three nights of almost-living freedom. Freedom that means she can finally be seen. Danced with. Touched.

You think you know Ella’s story: the ball, the magical shoes, the handsome prince.

You’re halfway right, and all-the-way wrong.”

And here are a few reviews:

“A fairy tale by way of Shirley Jackson… dark and appropriately haunting.”―The New York Times

“Gorgeous, whimsical, romantic, and bittersweet, Cinder House both whisks you away and holds you over a flame. I was bespelled.”―Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Absolutely delightful. One of the most unusual fairy-tale retellings I’ve seen in a hen’s age. I enjoyed it enormously!”―T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author

“An incredibly unique and shadowy ‘Cinderella’ retelling, full of tenderness and whimsy and featuring a heroine who cannot help but haunt readers.”―Library Journal (starred review)

“This novella impresses from its chilling opening to its inspired, polyamorous take on happily ever after. Lovers of fairy-tale retellings, gothic fantasy, and fierce queer joy will be enchanted.”―Booklist (starred review)

Fairy Tale Salon – Here is the info for our March Fairy-Tale Salon.

Prompt: The Funniest Thing You’ve Encountered This Month

Quest: This March is seriously in need of some humor, so your salon quest is to share the funniest thing you’ve encountered this month – tell us about a joke that absolutely cracked you up, a cat t-shirt you had to buy immediately because you couldn’t stop giggling about it, the most spot-on perfect meme, a show you saw that you’re still laughing about days later, and/or a book you re-read whenever you need a good chuckle. If it made you laugh recently, we want to hear about it!

If you would like to join us, make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher on our Patreon for March!

Current Courses Available

Find Your Fairy Tale Mini-Course ($17) – Find Your Fairy Tale is a bite-sized mini course made to help you connect genuinely with the world of fairy tales and tap into the personal stories that underpin your life – so that you can harness their power or even start to change them. We guarantee academic excellence, dedication to whimsy, and an avenue right into a real sense of everyday enchantment. 

Some people swear by their Enneagram (we’re both 3s) or their Zodiac sign (*waves in Virgo and Scorpio*). We’re all about fairy tales and the insights they reveal.

Press

We were interviewed by Lydia for her Flirting with Life podcast! We talked about fairytales as cultural scripts, practical ways to have an enchanted life, and flirting with something as a practice, and more. Listen to it here! 

We were interviewed on Kelly Jarvis’ blog about Fairylore! Check out our interview on friendship, Carterhaugh’s origin story, Fairylore, and more! Listen to it here!

We were interviewed on Deborah Zehna-Adams’ Substack about writing and Fairylore! Listen to it here! 

We had the honor of being interviewed on Drinking Tea with Monsters, a podcast dedicated to “OCD and other, less scary monsters.” We talked about Brittany’s struggles with OCD (and how Sara supports her), about Carterhaugh, and how we work together. We also retold the fairy tale “The Boy Who Went Forth to Learn About Fear” in our own, delightfully irreverent way (did you know it can be applied to neurodivergence? And features a whole ghost bowling scene?), so don’t miss that at the end. Click here to listen!

Publications

OUR BOOK, FAIRYLORE, IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER!!!

Here’s the official description from our publisher, Sterling Ethos @ Hachette:

“A gorgeously illustrated guide to the fae, filled with intriguing and well-researched explorations of folklore from around the world.

In Ireland, the sinister leannán sídhe suck the life from artists and poets in exchange for muse-like inspiration. In Japan, the elusive zashiki-warashi bestow prosperity on the human families whose homes they share. From the dvorovoi of Russia to the Brazilian curupira, Malaysia’s orang bunian to English brownies, and the moksin tongbŏp of Korea, the world is full of magical creatures who assist, haunt, and dazzle humankind.

This illustrated compendium written by expert folklorists invites us to enter the realm of the fairy folk. Sections dedicated to fairies of the home, nature, romance, and more emphasize what fairies do and what they mean to people around the world. Each chapter illustrates a different way of seeing fairies—a way they’ve been used to explain our world and ourselves.

This is a fascinating reference for anyone who has ever been enchanted by fairies—or would like to be.”

Kelly Jarvis wrote a wonderful review of our new book, Fairylore, in The Fairy Tale Magazine! “Fairylore: A Compendium of the Fae Folk is a necessary book for all those who seek the rare blend of intellectual contemplation and fairy enchantment that Dr. Sara Cleto and Dr. Brittany Warman provide. It is both a valuable academic resource and a work of art that I will cherish and return to often as I continue to explore the fairy magic that beckons from ‘betwixt and between.’” Check out their review of Fairylore and order our book here!
