Melissa Albert

It's been more than 200 years since the Grimm Brothers first defined the "fairy tale" as we now know it, but its atmosphere of enchantment, peril, hunger, desire and transformation still fascinates.  In her bestselling debut novel The Hazel Wood, YA author Melissa Albert deploys humor, thriller-level excitement, and a head full of bewitching tales to fashion a coming-of-age story for the haunted teenager inside us all.  She joins Bill Tipper on this episode to talk about her love of the uncanny and the strange adventure of 17-year-old Alice Proserpine.
