The mega-selling author of the Atlas Six series delivers a luminous collection of short stories that take the reader on mesmerising journeys through revised fairytales, present day heists and absurdist poetry.
Dazzling stories of love, magic and betrayal.
A sensational collection from internationally bestselling author Olivie Blake.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, the spirit tethered to a magical bridge rapidly approaches burnout - and craves her freedom. Elsewhere, Congress enacts a complex auditing system designed to un-waste your youth. We also follow a banished fairy, as she answers a Craigslist ad. And we meet a Victorian orphan, who gains literacy for her occult situationship. In another time and place, a multiverse assassin contemplates the one who got away.
Escape the slow trudge of mortality with these magical ruminations on life, death and the love (or revenge) that outlasts both. This collection also features modified fairy tales, contemporary heists, absurdist poetry and at least one set of actual wedding vows.
Januaries is collection of new and existing short stories from the internationally bestselling author Olivie Blake.
