But when a young tailor discovers a body, her search for the culprit reveals even more strange and dark happenings around her town. From acclaimed author Francesca Zappia, Greymist Fair is a suspenseful and inventive murder mystery infused with magic and inspired by the lesser-known fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Two roads lead into a dark forest. They meet at Greymist Fair, the village hidden in the trees, a place kept alive by the families that never leave. The people of Greymist Fair know the woods are a dangerous and magical place, and to set foot off the road is to invite trouble. When Heike, the village’s young tailor, discovers a body on the road, she goes looking for who is responsible. But her quest only leads to more strange happenings around Greymist Fair. Inspired by the original, bloody, lesser-known fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, acclaimed author Francesca Zappia crafts an enthralling murder mystery that will keep readers turning the pages. Told from multiple points of view, with each narrative building on the crime discovered by Heike, Greymist Fair examines the themes of childhood fears, growing into adult responsibilities, and finding a place to call home amid the trials of life and death. Features chapter decorations by the author throughout, as well as a map.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780063161696","publication_date":"20230328","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"greymist-fair","subtitle":"","title":"Greymist Fair"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAF062040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"YA Supernatural Thrillers","score":0.8203,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF017020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fairy Tale Anthologies for Teens","score":0.8128,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF019050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Wizards & Witches for Teens","score":0.8034,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAF062040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"YA Supernatural Thrillers","score":0.8203,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF017020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fairy Tale Anthologies for Teens","score":0.8128,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF019050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Wizards & Witches for Teens","score":0.8034,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"YAF017020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Fairy Tale Anthologies for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF019010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Contemporary YA Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF019020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Dark YA Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF021000","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Ghost Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF026000","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Horror","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF037000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Loners & Outsiders for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF042000","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Mysteries","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF045000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Paranormal & Supernatural for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"YA Supernatural Thrillers","score":0.8203,"slug":"ya-supernatural-thrillers"},{"label":"Fairy Tale Anthologies for Teens","score":0.8128,"slug":"fairy-tale-anthologies-for-teens"},{"label":"Wizards & Witches for Teens","score":0.8034,"slug":"wizards-witches-for-teens"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy YA Supernatural Thrillers","Good for readers interested in horror","Good for fans of Fantasy"],"related_lists":[{"intro":"Familiar tales rebuilt with new voice, stakes, and structure.","slug":"how-its-told-fairy-tale-retellings","title":"Fairy Tale Retellings","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/how-its-told-fairy-tale-retellings"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jennifer Dugan"],"book_id":"9780593532096","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593532096.jpg?v=20260416T232012Z%3A2026-04-17T10%3A17%3A29Z","score":12.8823,"title":"The Last Girls Standing","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593532096"},{"authors":["Jen Calonita"],"book_id":"9781368089586","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781368089586.jpg?v=20260416T232012Z%3A2026-04-17T10%3A17%3A29Z","score":11.3445,"title":"Fairy Godmother: an Enchanters Tale","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781368089586"},{"authors":["Garth Nix"],"book_id":"9780063058255","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063058255.jpg?v=20260416T232012Z%3A2026-04-17T10%3A17%3A29Z","score":11.2305,"title":"The Old Kingdom Three-book Box Set","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063058255"},{"authors":["Kyrie McCauley"],"book_id":"9780063242982","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063242982.jpg?v=20260416T232012Z%3A2026-04-17T10%3A17%3A29Z","score":10.5547,"title":"All the Dead Lie Down","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063242982"},{"authors":["Clay Chapman","Clay McLeod Chapman"],"book_id":"9781683693789","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781683693789.jpg?v=20260416T232012Z%3A2026-04-17T10%3A17%3A29Z","score":10.5324,"title":"Ghost Eaters","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781683693789"},{"authors":["Mari Mancusi"],"book_id":"9781368104500","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781368104500.jpg?v=20260416T232012Z%3A2026-04-17T10%3A17%3A29Z","score":10.5257,"title":"Sally's Lament","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781368104500"},{"authors":["K.
