Reviews
Fairy tales aren't meant to be nice. They are, at heart, reminders of the harsh and arbitrary world; happy endings were tacked on later to appeal to the romantic sensibilities of grown-ups who have forgotten how horrifying childhood is. Once Upon a Galaxy brings fairy tales into the science-fiction age, and many of the stories in it recall how cruel fairy tales can be. Richard E. Friesen's "Dancing in the Ashes," in particular, shatters the romantic aura of palaces and princes and knows how painful a happy ending can be. The other stories stand up well, from Michelle West's lovely and haunting "The Nightingale" to Wil McCarthy's unsettling "He Died That Day, In Thirty Years." Most of the stories are based on very familiar fairy tales, such as "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Goldilocks," though, of course, some bases are harder to identify than others. A delicious and varied collection of stories that breathe new life into hoary folklore. Regina Schroeder
