Description
A brave, exciting and adult collection that entertains with wit, shocks with frankness, and engages both intellect and emotion. Richly varied, it ranges from extended stories to intense pieces of flash fiction.
Stories may be set in realistic settings - but develop magical narrative twists that make us see all afresh. Others begin in fantasy - returnees from the dead, a man who finds discarded hymens - but are so skilfully realist we can only believe in their actuality.
