Böcker av Helen Marshall

Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus meets Helen Oyeyemi's Mr Fox in this dark fantasy tale infused with mystery and threat.

From the World Fantasy Award-winning author Helen Marshall comes a collection of critical writing focused on the evolution of writing, horror, and the weird tale. Within this volume you'll find an interrogation of the radical poetics of M. John Harrison's Worldbuilding, deep dives into the works of Stephen King and Kelly Link, and a meditation on the need for new and evolving language to describe weird times. You'll also find Marshall's extraordinary story, Survival Strategies, accompanied by an extended commentary that unearths its hidden depths and utilization of the uncanny. Insightful, dangerous, and incredibly precise, Tomorrow's Language shows us Dr Helen Marshall's critical work on horror and writing craft are just as unsettling, startling, and viscerally engaging as her best work as a fiction writer.

Creepy and atmospheric, evocative of Stephen King's classic Pet Sematary, The Migration is a story of sisterhood, transformation, and the limitations of love, from a thrilling new voice in Canadian fiction.

A generation-defying story, The Mole and The Flower asks children to not merely respect their elders, but understand and admire them too. After all, just because someone has gotten older doesn't mean they have nothing left to give.
