So off to the library (this was before Google) and I found a fascinating bit of history. I was driving along and the radio was awash with Christmas tunes, and out of nowhere “We Three Kings” popped into my head, and I realized I’d heard the story of the three wise men, the Magi, all my life but I had no idea who the Magi were, save a vague Dungeons & Dragons sense they were some kind of magicians. A common meme in a lot of fantasy is “what if?” What if your next door neighbors were the fae?įaerie Tale was an improbable project to begin with, arising from three completely unrelated questions that occurred to me. Feist: I honestly have no idea, save it’s sort of a one-off from what at the time came to be known as “urban fantasy.” Mine was more “rural fantasy,” or “suburban fantasy.” But it had that similarity of a juxtaposition of the commonplace with “otherworld” elements. Shawn Speakman: It has been 30 years since Faerie Tale published and in that time it has become a cult classic among your readers.
We hope you enjoy the interview below! And be sure to pre-order the limited edition here! Now that Grim Oak Press has begun the journey to bring Faerie Tale to life in a new limited edition, I decided to ask Feist to partake in an interview, to talk about the book, why is was written, and how he feels about the story in its 30th Anniversary Year. Magician is one of my favorite novels too but it was Faerie Tale that showed me fantasy could be more than epic. When I decided to expand Grim Oak Press, it was with joy that I'd be able to contact Feist and his publisher and ask after the subsidiary rights to add it to our limited edition line-up. It is one of my favorite books, a story that I first read as a teenager but one that has held up remarkably well after three decades of adulthood. Grim Oak Press is producing a limited edition of Faerie Tale by Raymond E.
