Fantastic Women comprises eighteen stories by some of the most
exciting contemporary women writers in the United States. The
daughters of Franz Kafka and Mary Shelley, the Brothers Grimm, and
Angela Carter, these inventive, insightful authors steep their
narratives in a heady potion of surrealism and macabre black
comedy. The result is wildly creative work that captures the potent
truth about human nature far more clearly than much of the fiction
(or, for that matter, the nonfiction) being written today. Why just
women? More and more women writers are creating work that not only
pushes the envelope but also folds realistic fiction into an
origami dragon, transporting readers into worlds we've never seen
before and digging deeper into the psychic bedrock than their male
counterparts. So slip into a pocket universe, drive through a
family's home, awake in the night to find you've become a deer, and
dive into the ocean to join your mermaid mother. We can't imagine
ever wanting to escape this spellbinding world, but if you must,
best leave a trail of crumbs along your way.
