Bøger af Carina Bissett

"Ravishing flights of fantasy."-Priya Sharma, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of All the Fabulous Beasts and Ormeshadow"Carina Bissett's collection is a thing of wonder and beauty. It is a true representation of Carina herself: whimsical, visceral, lovely, and fierce. You can hear women's voices screaming while roses fall from their lips. Dead Girl, Driving and Other Devastations is a triumph."-Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Little Dead RedIn this powerful debut, Carina Bissett explores the liminal spaces between the magical and the mundane, horror and humor, fairy tales and fabulism. A young woman discovers apotheosis at the intersection of her cross-cultural heritage. A simulacrum rebels against her coding to create a new universe of her own making. A poison assassin tears the world apart in the relentless pursuit of her true love-the one person alive who can destroy her. Dead Girl, Driving and Other Devastations erases expectations, forging new trails on the map of contemporary fiction. Includes an introduction by Julie C. Day, author of Uncommon Miracles and The Rampant."Carina Bissett is one of my favorite speculative authors writing today-magic and myth, horror and revenge, wonder and hope. Her stories are original, lyrical, and haunting-Shirley Jackson mixed with Ursula LeGuin and a dash of Neil Gaiman. An amazing collection of stories." -Richard Thomas, author of Spontaneous Human Combustion, a Bram Stoker Award finalist
