Prize Winner of the Saboteur Award for Best Short Story Collection
The Herald: Book of the Year 2014 Shortlisted for the 2014 Green
Carnation Prize Twenty tales of lust and loss. These stories
feature clockwork hearts, lascivious queens, paper men, island
circuses, and a flooded world. On the island of Skye, an antlered
girl and a tiger-tailed boy resolve never to be friends - but can
they resist their unique connection? In an alternative 19th-century
Paris, a love triangle emerges between a man, a woman, and a
coin-operated boy. A teenager deals with his sister's death by
escaping from their tiny Scottish island - but will she let him
leave? In 1920s New Orleans, a young girl comes of age in her
mother's brothel. Some of these stories are radical retellings of
classic tales, some are modern-day fables, but all explore
substitutions for love.
