'Stories from the Towers of Stone and Steel' is a new collection of stories for adults and young adults. Whereas most fairy tales start in enchanted woods and flowery meadows, these stories are set in town and cities: Fantastical cities in the desert, the dark of modern day alternative London nightclubs, and locations in India and Japan. Written and illustrated by Jason Buck, storyteller and performer, these stories were first written for telling aloud, and have all been performed to live audiences. Drawing on traditional themes and introducing new ideas, these are original stories from the towns and cities of the world with folklore monsters, romance, wishes to grant our dreams, and horrors that lurk.
