To Spin a Darker Stair is out in the world!

People have been tweeting about receiving their copies of To Spin a Darker Stair, and they are saying such lovely things!

Faith Mudge, one of the authors, sent me a beautiful note, and I hope she won’t mind me quoting her description: “The book is gorgeous – so small and sweet, a bookling really!” I LOVE it – bookling indeed!

Artist Kathleen Jennings talks us through the process of the cover art on her blog – so PRETTY.

DarkMatterzine has already reviewed it! Nalini says: “I’m charmed by the book … these are re-imaginings from the dark side.” (among other nice things).

And on Twitter, Tansy Rayner Roberts called it, “a fairy cobweb of a … book.” Beautiful!

And finally (for now!), author Catherynne M Valente also had some things to say on Twitter – I’ve captured it as a picture to have forever! My favourite bit? “… a beautiful, delicate, strange book…”
