One of us sort of hopes it was all a grand coincidence. Whether he remembers that the tale in question was the same one he retold in this collection, we don't know. The anthology also sprung from remarks Neil Gaiman made one night in New York about retelling tales, in particular about retelling a specific fairy tale. This anthology was born from that mutual love-and a strange retelling of Heart of Darkness in the form of a children's cartoon that Tim wrote. Along the way, they became friends with a mutual love of short stories, literature, and science fiction and fantasy. By the time Melissa began to write, she had found Tim's short stories he also published her first story. Tim studied creative writing in North Carolina and then went on to edit and write Melissa studied literature at another North Carolina university, and then went on to be a university literature teacher for twelve years before writing. The editors' lives had overlaps before we knew each other.
