Eileen Cruz Coleman takes the Brothers Grimm tale of Rumpelstiltskin and gives it a darker, stranger shape. The original is a short and strange story: a miller's daughter is handed an impossible task, and an odd little figure arrives to help her for a price. This retelling asks the questions the old folk tale leaves hanging, about who the helper really is, what he wants, and what the bargain costs everyone involved. Expect a wry, unsettling take on a familiar fairy tale, with romance woven through the magic.
