Description
Three short story collections and one short story chapbook from the inimitable Angela Slatter, Australiaโs World Fantasy Award-winning master of dark fantasy, horror, and myth-soaked fiction.
Aboutย THEWRONG GIRL & OTHER WARNINGS
From the award-winning Angela Slatter, author ofย The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings,ย All The Murmuring Bones, andย The Path of Thorns,ย comes a collection of twelve short stories showcasing the scope of her extraordinary talent.
Inย The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings, Slatter shows us that โinnocentโ should never be mistaken for โsafeโ, while spinning tales of witches, Victorian-era detectives, bad parents, unrepentant killers, and ancient wisdom.
Inย A Matter Of Light,ย detective Kit Casswell is called upon to lend her experience with the supernatural to a very unwilling consulting detective. Inย Widowsโ Walk,ย a quartet of witches band together in a single house, secretly working to protect young women.ย In the titular tale,ย The Wrong Girl, a frustrated artist turns the romance of her fickle friend and tiresome sister into a deadly masterpiece.
Wry, savage, and written with the precision of a writer at the top of her game,ย The Wrong Girl and Other Warningsย is a gift to those who already love Slatterโs fiction and those discovering her exquisite stories for the first time.
About WINTER CHILDREN & OTHER CHILLING TALES
Traversing the borderlands between terror and lush, fantastic beauty,ย Winter Children and Other Chilling Tales, Angela Slatterโs eighth collection of short fiction, gathers twelve tales of horror, the uncanny, and dark lament.
Here, you will find Lovecraftian terrors, Aussie vampires, fell magic, ancient wisdom, wayward children, and twisted moments of desire gone horribly wrong. From the otherworldly threats of โThe Song of Sighsโ and โOnly the Dead and Moonstruckโ, to the sand-blasted Australian outback of โSun Fallsโ, to the shadowy secrets of the past in the โThe Red Forestโ, these tales are dark gems that will haunt you long after your first reading.
Originally collected in a limited edition, this publication brings the first-rate chills and nightmarish turns of Slatterโs imagination ย to a broader readership for the first time. ย Shortlisted for the Aurealis Award upon its original release, nowโs your chance to find out why Stephen Jones has dubbed Angela Slatter โa powerful and eloquent voice in horror fiction.โ
About RED NEW DAY AND OTHER MICROFICTIONS
Mechanised monkeys, betrayed brides, irritable gorgons, harpists playing instruments of bone, acts of vengeance, and furies eager to feast.ย
Red New Day and Other Microfictionsย is a collection of vignettes from World Fantasy Award winner Angela Slatter, collected together for the very first time.ย Known as one of Australiaโs finest authors of dark fantasy and sinister horror, Slatterโs myth-inspired morsels and terrifying short tales will remind you of the uncanny, wild, and beautiful things that can be found in small packages.
Aboutย NO GOOD DEED: A SOURDOUGH STORY
Angela Slatterโsย No Good Deedย is a dark fantasy tale of magic, ghosts, and marriage set in her World Fantasy Award-winning Sourdough universe.
Isobel assumed her wedding would be the grandest day of her life, but when she wakes in a ghost-filled tomb still wearing her bridal veil, itโs clear events have taken an unexpected turn.
With the assistance of a vengeful spirit Isobel escapes her imprisonment, but her new husband Adolphus will not be pleased to discover his wife is alive. As Isobel comes to understand her husbandโs darkest secret, the newlyweds begin a deadly dance that only one will survive.
This chapbook presents a stand-alone Sourdough story that does not appear in any of the three mosaic collections devoted to Slatterโs world of myth and magic, plus a chronology for all the publications that have appeared thus far.
