Synopsis
A beautifully inventive collection from multi award-winning author Nina Allan. These stories will enthral fans of China Mieville, Aliya Whiteley and Carmen Maria Machado.
A stunningly inventive collection from multi award-winning author, Nina Allan. Unsettling, dark and brilliantly astute, these weird and wonderful tales take us on journeys through time and space to explore enduring questions of memory and loss. Her worlds are recognisably our own but always closer to the edge, on the slant - and sharply unexpected. These stories are an unmissable insight into a writer at the top of her game.
