Pick your poison: Vampires, devils, werewolves, faeries, or . . . ? Find them all here in Holly Black's amazing first collection. In her debut collection, "New York Times" best-selling author Holly Black returns to the world of Tithe in two darkly exquisite new tales. Then Black takes readers on a tour of a faerie market and introduces a girl poisonous to the touch and another who challenges the devil to a competitive eating match. Some of these stories have been published in anthologies such as "21 Proms, The Faery Reel, " and "The Restless Dead," and many have been reprinted in many "Best of " anthologies. "The Poison Eaters" is Holly Black's much-anticipated first collection, and her ability to stare into the void--and to find humanity and humor there--will speak to young adult and adult readers alike. A Junior Library Guild Pick. Illustrated by Theo Black. Holly Black is the author of "Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale" (an ALA Best Book for Young Adults) and two related novels, "Valiant" (Norton Award winner) and "New York Times" bestseller "Ironside." Her latest novel, "Black Heart" is the third of a new series, The Curseworkers. She and Tony DiTerlizzi created the best-selling Spiderwick Chronicles. Holly lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Theo, in a house with a secret library.
