Waiting on Wednesday - The Poison Eaters


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



The Poison Eaters and other stories
by Holly Black
Release Date: February 1, 2010

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. These stories have been published in anthologies such as 21 Proms, The Faery Reel, and The Restless Dead, and have been reprinted in many “Best of” anthologies. The Poison Eaters is Holly Black’s much-anticipated first collection of stories, and her ability to stare into the void—and to find humanity and humor there—will speak to young adult and adult readers alike.


Oh Holly Black, how I love your books.

  1. I've never even heard of Holly Black. Her cover looks so dark and morbid, though, that I probably would love it. I just wish it wasn't short stories.

  5. Holly's books have a place of honor on my bookshelf. I am so excited to this one!
    And I just happen to have the Faery Reel checked out from the library right now. I didn't know she was in it, looks like it just moved to the top of my TBR pile.
