Description
Three short story collections and one short story chapbook from the inimitable Angela Slatter, Australia’s World Fantasy Award-winning master of dark fantasy, horror, and myth-soaked fiction.
About THEWRONG GIRL & OTHER WARNINGS
From the award-winning Angela Slatter, author of The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings, All The Murmuring Bones, and The Path of Thorns, comes a collection of twelve short stories showcasing the scope of her extraordinary talent.
In The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings, Slatter shows us that âinnocentâ should never be mistaken for âsafeâ, while spinning tales of witches, Victorian-era detectives, bad parents, unrepentant killers, and ancient wisdom.
In A Matter Of Light, detective Kit Casswell is called upon to lend her experience with the supernatural to a very unwilling consulting detective. In Widowsâ Walk, a quartet of witches band together in a single house, secretly working to protect young women. In the titular tale, 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, The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings is a gift to those who already love Slatterâs 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, Winter Children and Other Chilling Tales, Angela Slatterâs 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 âThe Song of Sighsâ and âOnly the Dead and Moonstruckâ, to the sand-blasted Australian outback of âSun Fallsâ, to the shadowy secrets of the past in the âThe Red Forestâ, 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 Slatterâs imagination  to a broader readership for the first time.  Shortlisted for the Aurealis Award upon its original release, nowâs your chance to find out why Stephen Jones has dubbed Angela Slatter âa powerful and eloquent voice in horror fiction.â
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.Â
Red New Day and Other Microfictions is a collection of vignettes from World Fantasy Award winner Angela Slatter, collected together for the very first time. Known as one of Australiaâs finest authors of dark fantasy and sinister horror, Slatterâs myth-inspired morsels and terrifying short tales will remind you of the uncanny, wild, and beautiful things that can be found in small packages.
About NO GOOD DEED: A SOURDOUGH STORY
Angela Slatterâs No Good Deed 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, itâs 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 husbandâs 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 Slatterâs world of myth and magic, plus a chronology for all the publications that have appeared thus far.
