Oz Reimagined: New Tales from the Emerald City and Beyond
Oz Reimagined New Tales from the Emerald City and Beyond Author:John Joseph Adams, Douglas Cohen When L. Frank Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900, he introduced to the world something that was much more than just another children?s book. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz quickly became one of the definitive cornerstones of American popular culture and remains so to this day. Whether it has been in the form of books, movies, or music... more »als, time and again, the world of Oz has captivated audiences with an iconic magic all its own. Now, more than a century after its initial publication, the popularity of Oz shows no signs of slowing down. In this anthology, the editors have recruited some of today?s most popular and talented young adult and fantasy writers and asked them to re-imagine L. Frank Baum?s classic creation. In these stories, you will be reintroduced to the world of Oz, but it will be Oz as you?ve never seen it before. Ever wonder what Emerald City would look with an urban fantasy makeover? Perhaps you want to know the origin of Dorothy?s slippers, or maybe you want to know what happened when the Wizard first came to the Land of Oz. What if Dorothy never went to Oz at all, or the Land of Oz was actually a dystopian nightmare? All these scenarios and many more will be found in Oz Reimagined. At the helm of this project are John Joseph Adams?bestselling editor of more than a dozen science fiction/fantasy anthologies?and Douglas Cohen, former editor of Realms of Fantasy Magazine. Together, they will bring you stories by celebrated authors such as Orson Scott Card, Tad Williams, Jane Yolen, Seanan McGuire, Jonathan Maberry, Simon R. Green, David Farland, and many other terrific talents who have each reinvented Oz with their own unique visions. Along with a foreword by Gregory Maguire?renowned author of Wicked: the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West?the anthology features a lineup not to be missed.« less
