<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From award-winning author Lynda Clark come 16 engrossing stories weaving together elements of folklore, fantasy and speculative fiction, all of them in Clark's darkly humorous style. In "Ghillie's Mum," shortlisted for the BBC Short Story Award, a shape-shifting mother needs to decide whether to compromise and stay in her human form, or lose her son. In "Total Transparency," the protagonist is learning how to live with a gradually disappearing wife. In "Blanks," people are paying to create clones of themselves so they will never die. And in "Dreaming in Quantum," there's a murder to be solved which echoes through dimensions only accessible in dreams.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Clark's playful narratives take us to the edges of what it is to be human" <i>TLS</i><br><br>"In Lynda Clark's high-concept horrors, even the strangest perversions of science and biology can feel sadly familiar, hinting at the fantasies we tell ourselves to explain, or run away from, the darkest moments of our lives." --Nick Mulgrew, author of <i>A Hibiscus Coast</i><br><br>"Lynda Clark's stories are thought-provoking, very funny, sometimes poignant, and always entertaining, with a whole Buffyverse-worth of plotlines and nice, fat, satisfying endings." --Jo Lloyd, winner of the BBC National Short Story Award 2019<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>An award-winning short fiction writer, <b>Lynda Clark</b> has been widely published in anthologies and her debut novel, <i>Beyond Kidding</i> was published by Fairlight Books in 2019 and is in development for a feature with Film4.
