About the Author

Eugie Foster calls home a mildly haunted, fey-infested house in metro Atlanta that she shares with her husband, Matthew. After receiving her master’s degree in Psychology, she retired from academia to pen flights of fancy. She also edits legislation for the Georgia General Assembly, which from time to time she suspects is another venture into flights of fancy.

Eugie received the 2009 Nebula Award for her novelette, “Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast,” the 2011 and 2012 Drabblecast People's Choice Award for Best Story, the 2012 eFestival of Words Best Independent Short Story Collection eBook Award, and the 2002 Phobos Award. THE DRAGON AND THE STARS anthology, edited by Derwin Mak and Eric Choi, with her story, “Mortal Clay, Stone Heart,” won the 2011 Prix Aurora Award for Best English Related Work. Her fiction has also been translated into eight languages and been a finalist for the Hugo and British Science Fiction Association awards.

Her short story collection, RETURNING MY SISTER'S FACE AND OTHER FAR EASTERN TALES OF WHIMSY AND MALICE, was published in 2009 and has been used as a textbook at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of California-Davis.

Editorial Reviews

Based on the myth of pitiable monster Scylla, the story re-imagines the timeless story of Beauty and the Beast to make modern and poignant observations on the ugliness of self-hatred.

Tangent - Elizabeth A. Allen

A rich reworking of Greek legends, where the greatest horror lies in what we do to ourselves.
