From Publishers Weekly

Datlow and Windling (Snow White, Blood Red), winners of the World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology, have compiled a second volume of "fairy tales for adults"-an enchanting, witty collection of 18 original stories that in general achieve relevance without losing their patina of magic. A case in point is Jane Yolen's brilliant retelling of Rumpelstiltskin story, in which the "imp" is a Jewish moneylender caught in a pogrom because he helped the wrong princess. Equally impressive is Midori Snyder's subtly feminist story about how to keep love alive after "happily ever after" has been going on for a while. Several comic entries include Michael Cadnum's hip retelling of the Gingerbread Man story, Howard Waldrop's entry about about Prohibition gangsters at a music festival. The anthology's many powerful themes (e.g., the tyranny of beauty, the sanctity of life) are taken up as suitably by the traditional fantasy voices of Patricia C. Wrede and Nancy Kress as they are in Roger Zelazny's more experimental entry. Even more than its predecessor, this superior volume proves that the notion of modern-day Grimms, Andersens and Wildes isn't just a fairy tale.

From Kirkus Reviews

The editors of the annual Year's Best Fantasy and Horror concoct a potent brew of fairy tales spiked with feminism. These intoxicating delights are not meant for children or the timid. Storm Constantine retells the princess and the pea through the voice of the widowed queen of Gordania, a narrator so wickedly charming, sinister, and intimate with the use of poisons that she brings to mind ancient Rome's Livia. In Nancy Kress's version of Rumpelstiltskin, an enchanted young woman surrenders her talent to spin gold, and ultimately her own life, to save her only son. Susan Wade presents overweight princess Ylianna who, to gain the love of a prince, uses a toxic powder to metamorphose into a raven-haired beauty. Life as a mortal is so unbearable after his rejection that Ylianna transforms her wounded spirit into the magnificent black swan. Death gains a face--and a godson--in Roger Zelazny's witty story about the grim reaper who, despite his power of death-over- life, cannot resist sparing his favorite football players. No matter which tour you take through this frightening and dark enchanted wood, Datlow and Windling again prove themselves the best guides. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Adult Fairy Tales... are Good!, Oct. 15 2003
Par Clinton Brown (Chico, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Black Thorn, White Rose, is an interesting book. I am a big fan of authors that have enough creativity to create adult books by using our childhood fairy-tales. If you are a fan of fairy tales then I would recommend you read all of Ellen Datlow's books. They are interesting stories with characters that we have all grown up with but with an adult twist and a little adult humor. I would not recommend that children read this book. I hope that this helps... =-)

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not as good as the first effort, Aoû 23 2003
Par CoffeeGurl (MA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Having read Snow White, Blood Red, I couldn't wait to pick up the second volume of this magical series. Black Thorn, White Rose, while wonderful and disarming, wasn't up to the first book's par. However, there is a saving grace in this book. Jane Yolen's retelling of "Rumpelstiltskin" is quite brilliant - it does Nancy Kress's original story justice. I must say that the other retellings are rather weak. I haven't given up on this series, but I hope that the third volume is as good as Snow White, Blood Red.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Another Great One, Fév 7 2003
Par SassyOphelia "sassybroad12" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Another great one from the team of Datlow and Windling. The magic and beauty of popular fairy tales with new twists and adult themes. I especially liked Midori Snyder's "Tattercoats". For some reason, of all of this 'series" I would say this is my least favorite, with many stories being confusing, but being the least favorite of these books still places it high above many others.

I have to say I liked "Snow White, Blood Red" a lot more than this one. SWBR was edgier, more chilling, and with more beautiful storytelling. Read more
