A Feast of Sorrows

Description

This post is also available in: العربية (Arabic)

A Feast of Sorrows—Angela Slatter’s first U.S. collection—features twelve of the World Fantasy and British Fantasy Award-winning Australian author’s finest, darkest fairy tales, and adds two new novellas to her marvelous cauldron of fiction. Stories peopled by women and girls—fearless, frightened, brave, bold, frail, and fantastical—who take the paths less traveled by, accept (and offer) poisoned apples, and embrace transformation in all its forms. Reminiscent of Angela Carter at her best, Slatter’s work is both timeless and fresh: fascinating new reflections from the enchanted mirrors of fairy tales and folklore.
About the Author: Specializing in dark fantasy and horror, Angela Slatter has won a World Fantasy Award, a British Fantasy Award (the first—and so far, only—Australian to do so), and five Aurealis Awards. She’s the author of, among others things, The Girl with No Hands and Other Tales, Sourdough and Other Stories, and The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings, as well as the Tor.com novella Of Sorrow and Such. Forthcoming from Jo Fletcher Books is the novel Vigil (2016) and its sequels Corpselight (2017) and Restoration (2018). She blogs about shiny things that catch her eye and haunts Twitter as @AngelaSlatter.
