<b>“Feels like a major collection” – The Washington Post</b><br><b>A short fiction collection to stand with Ted Chiang''s <i>Exhalation</i> and Kelly Link''s <i>Magic for Beginners</i>.</b><br><b><br></b><br><br>The new collection of beautiful, strange and disarming short stories from the award-winning author of <i>The Beauty, </i>Clarke Award nominee<i> The Loosening Skin</i> and <i>The Arrival of Missives,</i> Aliya Whiteley. In 16 stories Whiteley deftly unpeels the strangeness of everyday life through beguiling gardens, rebellious bodies and journeys across familiar worlds, with her trademark wit and compassion. <br> <br>Witness the future of farming in a new Ice Age, or the artist bringing life to glass; the many-eyed monsters we carry and the secret cities inside our bodies; the alien invasion through our language to the Chantress and her twists on the fairy tale. Fascinating and always unexpected, Whiteley is unlike any other writer working today
