Description
A new collection of evocative and richly imagined stories from the internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning author of Black Juice, Red Spikes, Tender Morsels, and The Brides of Rollrock Island.
Yellowcake brings together ten short stories from the extraordinarily talented Margo Lanagan—each of them fiercely original and quietly heartbreaking.
The stories range from fantasy and fairy tale to horror and stark reality, and yet what pervades is the sense of humanity. The people of Lanagan's worlds face trials, temptations, and degradations. They swoon and suffer and even kill for love. In a dangerous world, they seek the solace and strength that comes from family and belonging.
These are stories to be savored slowly and pondered deeply because they cut to the very heart of who we are.
