Description

A recently widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband. An elderly lady with Charles Bonnet’s syndrome comes to terms with the little people she keeps seeing, while a newly-formed populist group gathers to burn down her retirement residence. A woman born with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire. In these nine tales, Margaret Atwood ventures into the shadowland and she is at the top of her darkly humorous and seriously playful game.

Professional reviews

"'It's easy to appreciate the grand array of Margaret Atwood's works ... in all their power and grace and variety. When I think of it, and put it together with her writerly gifts and achievements, it takes my breath away.’ ALICE MUNRO ‘Atwood is a poet. Scarcely a sentence of her quick, dry yet avid prose fails to do useful work.’ JOHN UPDIKE"
