I'm using this entry for Alix E. Harrow’s “The Sycamore and the Sybil”.

I was unfamiliar, before reading this short story, of Daphne from Greek mythology. This story takes that tale as it's primary ingredient and throws in some "Little Red Riding Hood" with a bit of what I am starting to consider as Alix E. Harrow's signature twist: witches. Harrow also takes the opportunity to show off her prose here as well. While I enjoyed the narrative what really brought me in was the prose. It is what stands out the most in her works to me (so far at least). Her prose simply captivates me every time and I look forward to her upcoming releases.
