Terri Windling recommends

The Book of Hidden Things (2018)
Francesco Dimitri
"Francesco Dimitri's first novel in English is a wonder and a revelation. Hidden within this gripping, frightening story about an arcane manuscript is a deep, clear-eyed, and compassionate meditation on friendship as it evolves over time. The Book of Hidden Things is fantasy at it's best: using magical tropes to illuminate real life."
thumb
The Emerald Circus (2017)
(Circus , book 1)
Jane Yolen
"In this masterful collection, Jane Yolen draws upon myth, fairy tales, history, poetry, and children's classics from Alice to Oz to fashion new tales from the bones of the old. There is simply no better storyteller working in the fantasy field today. She's a national treasure."

The Habitation of the Blessed (2010)
(Prester John, book 1)
Catherynne M Valente
"Valente is one of the most intriguing young writers working in the mythic fiction field today. Her work is lyrical, unusual, ambitious..."
