Red Spikes, Lanagan Margo

Margo Lanagans electrifying stories take place in worlds not quite our own, and yet each one illuminates what it is to be human. They are stories of yearning for more, and learning to live with what you have. Stories that show the imprint love leaves on us all.

If you think you dont like short fiction, that a story cant have the depth or impact of a novel, then you havent read Margo Lanagan. A writer this startling and this original doesnt come along very often. So for anyone who likes to be surprised, touched, unsettled, intrigued, or scared senseless, prepare to be dazzled by what a master storyteller can do in a few short pages.
