Description
Roam through the captivating stories of World Fantasy and Mythopoeic Award winner Theodora Goss (the Athena Club trilogy). This themed collection of imaginary places, with three new stories, recalls Susanna Clarke's alternate Europe and the surreal metafictions of Jorge Luis Borges. [STARRED REVIEW] "Each story in Goss's perfectly titled collection features stamps from fantastical worlds." --Library Journal The infamous girl monsters of nineteenth-century fiction gather in London and form show more their own club. In the imaginary country of Thule, characters from folklore band together to fight a dictator. An intrepid girl reporter finds the hidden land of Oz--and joins its invasion of our world. The author writes the autobiography of her alternative life and a science fiction love letter to Budapest. The White Witch conquers England with snow and silence. Deeply influenced by the author's Hungarian childhood during the regime of the Soviet Union, each of these intricate stories engages with storytelling and identity, including Goss's own. show lessTags
