But when I paused and turned back to look at my almost-decade of stories, I didn't find pure fantasy. I found history, fractured and recast, but not false. I am still telling the truth - but slant, by starlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the award-winning and internationally bestselling author comes a new fantastical collection of stories old and new - including \u003cem\u003eThe Six Deaths of the Saint\u003c\/em\u003e and the story that started Alix's career, \u003cem\u003eA Witch's Guide to Escape\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are stories about the past as it wasn't quite, but might have been, from ancient battlefields all the way up through roadside attractions off I-70. They're about the people caught in the mean jaws of history: the women and workers, the soldiers and mothers, everyone shoved into the margins of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut these aren't tragedies - these are the stories of the ones that got away. The ones who defected and dissented, who broke the rules, who ran and tossed a match behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePraise for Alix E.
