Caitlín R. Kiernan

The first full sentence I find is "It could happen easily in a fairy tale, however, or a "fable" Like Alice in Wonderland, or in a Greek myth at the pont at which some hapless maiden is being transformed into a sapling or other item of vegetation by a god.", though if you count fragmentary sentences then it's rather unnerving really - "cliffe Gothic shocker, but only if there were a sinister count hidden inside the bush."

If any of this happens then I blame Margaret Atwood.
