Waved a book under my Librarian's nose. She's added it to 'the list of those that shall be ordered'. I admit to being a book pimp.

"Troll's Eye View: a book of villainous tales"-- anthology c. 2009
Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling, editors

From the introduction:
A look at "the old fairy tales which were dark,scary, magical, suspenseful, and thrilling, full of cruel stepmothers, malicious fairies, and flesh-eating ogres and giants... no one sat crying in the cinders waiting for a prince to rescue them- they used quick wits and courage to find their own way to a happy ending."

For the anthology, the editors "wanted something new- so we asked our writers to take a long, hard look at the fairy-tale villians. Witches, wizards, giants, trolls, orgres: what's the truth behind their stories? And are the fairy-tale heroes and heroines pitted against them quite as noble as they first appeared?"

Authors:
Delia Sherman, Garth Nix, Wendy Froud, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Peter S. Beagle, Ellen Kushner, Joseph Stanton, Holly Black, Jane Yolan, Nancey Farmer, Michael Cadnum, Catherynne M. Valente, Midori Snyder, Neil Gaiman, Kelly Link.

And I hold the Anthology in my hands even as I type.. *evil laughter*
The laughter seems appropriate considering it's about the villians.
*cackles*

Domestic chores to do. Laundry mixes well with reading I think.
