Terri Windling is een Amerikaanse redacteur, kunstenaar en essayist wiens werk thema's als mythe, folklore en magische literatuur verkent. Ze wordt erkend als een cruciale kracht achter de opleving van mythische fictie, gekenmerkt door haar innovatieve redactionele werk en de creatie van geprezen boekenreeksen. Haar schrijven, diep geïnspireerd door sprookjes en het bovennatuurlijke, onderzoekt behendig archetypische verhalen en hun hedendaagse herinterpretaties. Door haar dubbele rol als kunstenaar en auteur navigeert Windling meesterlijk door de grensgebieden tussen realiteit en fantasie, en laat zo een belangrijke indruk achter op het landschap van speculatieve fictie.
