Duck Prints Press Celebrates Folktales and Fables Week with Our Favorite Folktale-Inspired (often Queer) Fiction

This week, March 19th to 25th, is World Folktales and Fables Week! Duck Prints Press is celebrating with two blog posts: yesterday’s, which focused on the folktales, fables, and myths that influenced us as creators, and today’s, about our favorite folktale-inspired fiction (queer and otherwise).

Two Hands, Wrapped in Gold by S.B. Divya (suggested by Dei)

This past year I read this story in Uncanny Magazine Issue 46, and it’s really stuck with me. It’s a retelling of a folktale very familiar to many Westerners, and the changes made turn it into a very compelling new story all on its own. No spoilers on what story it is, but suffice to say it takes a new perspective and I love this piece to bits.

Once & Future by Cory McCarthy and A. R. Capetta (suggested by Tris Lawrence)

I’m currently really enjoying the duology by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy which is an Arthurian retelling in space with a female Arthur and multiple queer rep. It’s YA, and it’s just… fun? I love how it played with the the known pieces, and plays with Merlin’s aging backwards, and works to both fit within the expected and turn things around at the same time.

I’ve finished Once & Future (in Space) and just received Sword in the Stars (confronting the past) and can’t wait to get to read it after I finish what I’m already reading.

One For the Morning Glory by John Barnes (suggested by Nina Waters)

My favorite folktale-inspired book is John Barnes’s One for the Morning Glory. It’s just beautiful.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (suggested by Owlish)

Unfortunately, it does have a major character death because…well… Achilles. It is so beautifully written, though.

Burning Roses by S. L. Huang (suggested by Shadaras)

This novella takes inspiration from the fairytale Red Riding Hood and the legend of Hou Yi (as well as other classic Germanic fairy tales and Chinese legends!), and imagines both of those characters as middle-aged women uncertain of their place in the world. They travel together, fighting monsters, and tell each other about their youths and families (both of them have wives and children). The ending is happy, but the path there takes time and reflection from everyone involved. I love it because of how it blends two wholly separate mythologies together into one cohesive world, as well as for showing what might happen after the stories we know end.

The Book of Gothel by Mary McMyne (suggested by Owlish)

It’s a feminist retelling of Repunzel from the point of view of Mother Gothel setting her story straight.

Robin McKinley’s Fairy Tale Novels (suggested by E C)

Robin McKinley’s fairy tale novels are beautifully written (but sometimes brutal) retellings of some classic stories.

Guardian/Zhen Hun/镇魂 by Priest (suggested by boneturtle)

A danmei featuring humans, ghosts, demons, zombie kings, and all sorts of otherworldly creatures all wrapped up in an apocalyptic chinese folktale mashup from the master herself. taught me that 1) you are allowed to play with your own mythology, 2) fairytales are gay, 3) the apocalypse isn’t the end, just another spin of the wheel.

October Daye Series by Seanan McGuire (suggested by Sebastian Marie)

I love this series, there’s like eleven books, the first being Rosemary and Rue. They’re inspired by Irish folklore concerning the Faerie people.

Ash by Malinda Lo (suggested by E C)

“Ash” by Malinda Lo is a very queer Cinderella retelling.

Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamed (suggested by Adrian Harley)

A gorgeous graphic novel of the modern world, but where wishes are a commodity, bought, sold, and processed. The graphic novel follows three people who come into possession of a “first-class” wish and their intertwining tales. It’s a beautiful exploration on a global and personal scale (what does colonialism look like in this world? How does law enforcement treat those who are seen as unworthy of having wishes? But also, if you’re a queer college student with major depression, what do you wish for to fix the mountain you feel crushing you? Are you even worthy of a wish?)—and it’s also really funny! I cannot say enough good things about this book, because I discovered it by chance on my library shelf last month and want everyone to know about it.

The Lunar Chronicles Series by Marissa Meyer (suggested by E C)

It’s sci-fi that brings Cinderella, Snow White, Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel characters into the same universe.

Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente (suggested by Anonymous)

[[[A retelling of a Russian folk tale about Koschei the Deathless.]]]

Saiyuki by Kazuya Minekura (suggested by Anonymous)

It’s a manga with a distinctly retro anime-style retelling of the Journey to the West that bluntly confronts themes of loss, grief, redemption, and the long, long road to admitting you care about other people. It’s been on and off hiatus for years due to the author’s poor health, but I still adore it. This series taught me that it’s the journey that matters, not the destination.

Bonus!

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (an inspiration to multiple people, suggested by multiple people)

When we asked our contributors to suggest the folktales and fables that inspired them, and their favorite folktale-inspired stories, The Mists of Avalon ended up getting nominated in both categories!

boneturtle said: retelling of Arthurian legend from Morgana’s POV. Not explicitly queer but features the women of the story with the men as sort of incidental, and given to me by my bi friend who said it helped her understand her own sexuality. and it’s beautifully, beautifully written.

-

There’s a wonderful number of fiction stories, novellas, novels, and series inspired by folktales and fables, and a growing number of those are queer. Have you got a favorite we didn’t mention? We’d love to hear about it!!

Dressed in ¾ hour and downstairs to speak to Charles H- about upper buttery floor - under-drawing the hall with press-paper etc - breakfast with my father and Marian before 10 - Long talk with the latter - one the Inman’s aetatis 12 coming to Miss Walkinsons’ school - annoyed - and Marian cried - then with my aunt - came to my room about 1 - wrote a full ½ sheet and 1 p. of ½ sheet envelope to Lady S- ‘Found my aunt a great deal better than it was possible to expect from the very alarming accounts I had received - she is certainly in a precarious state and suffers a great deal, but if I might venture to depend at all upon my own judgement, I should say the danger was less imminent than it had been represented and that life might be prolonged for a considerable time, at least for many months - I have no fear of her no getting over the winter unless there should be some sudden change which I do not at present see any reason to apprehend - she was delighted to see me, and had counted upon my coming, that I shall never repent not having hesitated about it - but I feel persuaded, the account might safely have been such as to have permitted my remaining where I was till spring’ - went by High Wycombe - stopt ½ hour for soup and sandwiches at Oxford - at Leamington near 10 - Lawtons not there - sat an hour with V- (looking very thin but very well - ‘the baby the fattest little thing I ever saw’ took so much notice of me quite delighted with it) - then forward and reached Lawton at 11 - Mrs. L- ‘quieted my apprehension about my aunt’ so did not reach here till Thursday evening - did not see of the Miss Camerons and Mrs. C- only for a moment - mention my letter from Lady Harriet - Lady S- if writing to say I am safely arrived  my aunt much better than I expected -‘I have no fear of her not getting the winter over, and think even that she may continue  much longer; but that she was so anxious to see me, I feel I was right to come - I have only done my duty, and self-denial and trouble, however great weigh with me as nothing’ - mention writing to Lady S- de R- and hope anxiously for good accounts of Lady S- herself ‘Adieu dearest lady Stuart and believe me always very truly and affectionately yours’ - wrote a full ½ sheet to Lady S- de R- ‘my dear Lady Stuart I have found my aunt so very much better than I expected, that I have no fear of her not getting over the winter, and she may even continue many months longer - she says, she felt better the moment she got my letter - and the surprise and pleasure have had so powerful an effect, that the appearance of her leg is quite changed - the alarming tendency it had to gangrene, is  wearing worn off, and the threat of immediate danger is gone - the manner in which she has roused up from an apparently fixed indifference about everything, is really quite extraordinary - ...... should you be writing to lady Gordon, may I beg you to tell her, I am here, more unsettled than ever - So great is my aunt’s suffering, it is impossible to desire the prolongation of her life; but she is now so extraordinary better, that, tho’ recovery is impossible, I think she may and probably will continue many months - my love to the dear girls - I almost fancy I can enter into the feelings this winter - may all the world have smiles for Charlotte! Believe me, my dear Lady Stuart very truly yours A. Lister’ - same sort of account (as to Lady S-) of my journey and of B-‘s except the addition how pleased she was with Lady S- de R-‘s letter and that I came away quite sure she Lady S- de R- ‘would be the means of settling everything properly and comfortably for all parties’ – dinner at 6 ½ - at 7 sent off

my letter to ‘the honourable Lady Stuart’ undercover to ‘the Earl of Ripon Carlton Gardens London’ and my letter to ‘the lady Stuart de Rothesay’ undercover to ‘Lord Stuart de Rothesay Carlton-house terrace London’ and my letter written this afternoon to ‘Mr. J. Bewsher Baggage warehouse custom house London’ – Sir I shall be much obliged to you to forward the plate as soon as possible directed to ‘Madame Lister aux soins de Messrs. Laffitte and compagnie Canquiers à Paris, and I shall be much obliged to you to write on the parcel Argenterie Française – on shewing this letter to Messrs. Hammersleys and co. Bankers Pall Mall, they will reimburse you the expense incurred on my account – I take this opportunity of thanking you for your civility and attention and am sir your much obliged A. Lister’ – sat talking to my aunt till after 9 when she went to bed – Really she talked quite as cheerfully as before I last left home and is so well it is difficult to think of her as being in any near danger – then talking to my father and Marian till came up to my room at 9 50 – fine day F48° now at 10 5 pm – found my cousin come gently on getting up this morning but have never had time till now to put on linen - had Charles H- again this afternoon - the press-paper largest sheets made here 2ft by 20in. at 3 1/2d but this size would not answer Charles advises putting a sort of under flooring across the joists, and using the 30 oaks boards I have as they would be just as good for anything else afterwards - will consider what the labour would be - perhaps 25/.

Rumore s. m. Reomora Remore [der. om te rou bedroef, begrafnis, gedenkpreek]. – 1. a. brief. Huil, weeklaag van verskeie mense saam: Wanneer hulle voor die ruïne uitkom, Quivi die strida, die c., die klaaglied (Dante); dwaal sien sy gees Fra 'l .bedroefde van die Acheron-tempels (Foscolo); Die bedroef hou op: eenparig 'n Gebed kom op (Manzoni). b. Meer algemeen, pyn, kollektiewe hartseer vir 'n algemene ongeluk, vir die dood van 'n universeel gewaardeerde persoon: hy het gesterf tussen c. van al sy medeburgers; egter nie minder opreg en hartlik is c. oor die ellendes van die vaderland (Carducci). 2. In die letterkunde, 'n poëtiese komposisie, van die sirventes-soort, geskryf vir een of ander pynlike gebeurtenis; dit word ook klaaglied genoem.
