'??Never underestimate the power of a good story.'?¯ Good advice'?¦especially when a story can kill you. For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected'??perhaps infected is a better word'??by memetic incursion: where narratives the rest of the world considers fairy tales becomes reality, often with disastrous results. That'??s where the ATI Management Bureau steps in. A motley team struggling with their own unfolding narratives, they are tasked with identifying potential outbreaks using Aarne-Thompson Indexing and making sure the story doesn'??t reach '??ever after'?¯'?¦because if it does, usually someone is insane, dead'??or worse. Because with the ATI, it goes without saying that neither a Cinderalla, a Snow White, nor any other character-type on the Index is going to have a happy ending for anyone involved. Indexing is bestselling author Seanan McGuire'??s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.
