Overview
Overview
It has issued first editions and revival editions of a number of works in its genre, including: • Edward Einhorn's Paradox in Oz (1999) and The Living House of Oz (2005) • Eloise Jarvis McGraw's The Rundelstone of Oz (2001) • Jack Snow's Spectral Snow: The Dark Fantasies of Jack Snow (2002) • Eric Shanower's The Salt Sorcerer of Oz and Other Stories (2002) • L. Frank Baum's Daughters of Destiny; or, the Girl in the Harem (2005) • Baum's The Visitors from Oz (2005) • The Pawprint Adventures, reprinting Baum's pseudonymous young adult novels. Many of these editions feature Shanower's illustrations. Hungry Tiger also published the annual Oz-story Magazine from 1995 to 2000. The Press's name and iconography derive from the Hungry Tiger, the character that Baum introduced in his third Oz book, Ozma of Oz. The introductory section of Oz-story was titled "Fat Babies for Dinner", a reference to the Hungry Tiger's never-satisfied appetite for that diet.
