The myths and monsters of childhood legend aren’t trapped inside our storybooks. They’re just around the corner of that old familiar street, in the city park as the gates swing shut at dusk, sitting in the darkest corner of your favourite neighbourhood bar.
In this debut collection, a graduate student leaves her thesis behind when she crosses into fairyland; a child becomes separated from their home beneath the waves; a grieving woman uses cocoa beans to open a door between worlds. In “Fox Song”, an ageing grandmother recounts her post-war encounter with a shapeshifter who brought out new desires, and in “An Ephemeral Quality”, a young woman unearths a masquerade mask that reveals her innermost secrets. Myth, folklore, and literature come together in 21 stories of hope, transformation, and finding light within the dark.
