Sinopsis

In "The Golden Heart, and Other Fairy Stories," Violet Jacob intricately weaves a tapestry of enchanting tales that explore timeless themes of love, sacrifice, and moral integrity. Written in a lyrical and evocative style, the collection draws on Jacob's affinity for rich descriptions and traditional narrative structures, taking readers on a journey through magical landscapes inhabited by ethereal beings and courageous protagonists. The stories reflect the literary context of early 20th-century fantasy literature, marked by a revival of folklore and fairy tale motifs, yet Jacob's unique perspective imbues them with a fresh sensibility that resonates with contemporary readers. Violet Jacob, a Scottish poet and novelist, emerged from the cultural heritage of her native Fife, where the oral tradition of storytelling deeply influenced her literary pursuits. Her insightful engagement with Scottish folklore, along with her keen understanding of human psychology, shaped her narratives. Jacob's work often reflects the complexities of the world around her, using fairy stories as a vehicle to address social issues and personal dilemmas relevant to her time, as well as to her own experiences as a woman writer. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Golden Heart, and Other Fairy Stories" to readers who appreciate the intersection of fantasy and moral exploration. Jacob's enchanting tales serve not only as delightful escapes into whimsical realms but also as profound reflections on the nature of humanity, making this collection a treasure for both children and adults alike.

    It takes a monster to stop a monster. 
     
     
     
    Light the candle. Stand naked before the symbol. Offer your blood. 
     
     
     
    The advocate will come. 
     
     
     
    I left my abusive crime boss husband expecting to start over from nothing. After all, the prenup I signed when I married him is ironclad. But when Tony uses a loophole in the law to go after my ancestral family home—the one I'm currently living in and my grandmother is dying in—I'm desperate to stop him. 
     
     
     
    My witch best friend Maeve offers a solution. She lends me a family spell to call a supernatural advocate to deal with Tony. After all, it takes a monster to stop a monster. 
     
     
     
    But when I follow her instructions, I'm not expecting the darkly handsome Damien to form from the shadows, or to learn that he's been a prisoner of Maeve's family for centuries. From the moment he accepts my bargain and drinks my blood, he awakens a passion in me, one charged with latent magic. Magic formidable enough to restore my true self. Magic that holds the promise of Damien's freedom. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    You've heard, I'm sure, about the two Martians who went into a bar, saw a jukebox flashing and glittering, and said to it, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a joint like this?" Well, here's one about two Capellans and a slot-machine.... . 
    Yes, that is the basic story . . . Sartan and Toryl, from planet Capella, walking into Okie’s Oasis bar in the small, “the doggondest, cheeriest little town in America” – Jubilation, U.S.A. The joint is crowded. The one-armed bandits are clinking and spinning. And the two alien visitors slowly become involved in sipping on a cold one, interacting with the patrons, and playing the slots. . . .There is a measure of satire in this short story as two alien brothers try to make sense of a small town that promises to the friendliest town in the world, only to find themselves confused by their slot machines and chased out of town as insane and destructive.
