An utterly absorbing collection of depraved, delectable and enchanting short stories from the queen of weird girl fiction.
Can ‘no’ be a declaration of love? What happens when love is savage, dangerous and all-consuming? In this gorgeous and unsettling collection, women navigate the complexities and cruelties of desire across time and place, from a medieval convent to a Victorian parlour to a 1990s high school.
Intensely atmospheric, surprising and darkly funny, No & Other Stories is a richly flavoured feast that will leave you craving more.
