A phantasmagorical collection of short stories and
reimagined tales, not unlike Angela Carter and Carmen Maria
Machado. -- Matthew Janney * Guardian *
Sometimes disturbing, often humorous, but always unapologetically
feminist... a deeply, brilliantly macabre, visceral collection
which pulls very few punches. * BBC Radio 4 Open Book *
Dark, subversive... Here are fairytales and myths reworked with
a feminist bent, with plenty of blood, revenge and horror
thrown in... A fun - if unsettling - collection. * Tatler *
A sharply subversive feminist retread of fairy tales and
myths. These darkly humorous, sometimes viscerally violent
tales are inspired by horror stories, exploring taboos and the
female body in the modern world. * i *
These short stories are fiercely funny and feminist and mix
the everyday with the supernatural. * Red *
