For fans of Daisy Johnson and Kirsty Logan, a gothic short story
collection for winter nights from an emerging voice in British
literary fiction 'The short twisted tales . . . have a laconic
elegance that's both chilling and pleasurable' Financial Times
'Trust me: you want to read this. It's the queer horror book of
your dreams' Kirsty Logan Irresistibly strange and inventive,
Parallel Hells is a collection of dark and delightful stories that
blends folklore and gothic horror with a contemporary twist. A
golem discovers its powers far exceed its Creator's expectations.
An ancient creature, who feasts on the shame of modern-day
Londoners, struggles to fit in with friends they will long outlive.
And an Oxford historian discovers an antique tome that may help her
overcome her academic rivals. In this deliciously macabre debut
collection, Leon Craig explores queer identity, power, love and the
painful complexities of being human in startling new ways. 'A
glorious collection of short stories that reads as if Edgar Allan
Poe and Shirley Jackson had a little queer baby . . . It is such a
fresh and playful approach to storytelling that you cannot help but
be totally enamoured with Craig's abilities.' Big Issue
