ÔThis is a writer triumphantly in control of her material, of her style, and of her ideas.Õ Linda Grant Ð Orange Prize Winner and Booker Prize shortlisted author.
ÔIn the magic realist tradition: a cross between Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Chiropractors Monthly.Õ Mario Petrucci Ð award winning poet.
In this award-winning collection of short-stories from Sarah Vincent, nothing is quite what it seems. A mixture of magic-realism and the traditional ghost story, these are the landscapes of the imagination.
A farmer sends his wife to have her back fixed at the bone-manÕs mansion only to find his ploy backfires. A young mother struggles with a ghostly rival for her childÕs affections, and a man who buys himself a beautiful San Salvadorian wife gets more than he bargained for.
The stories in this collection have been short-listed for awards such as the Asham Award, and published in anthologies and magazines such as Best New Horror, Momaya Review, and Mslexia, among others.
