With horror and unsettling humour, these concise short stories explore a world of human failure – and take the breath away. Through the power of her vision, Scanlan takes hold of the world and gives it to the reader with an intensity that is, paradoxically, both strange and familiar. The stories are not flashes of fiction or experiments but carefully made works, executed with powerful economy.
