Description:
Addictively strange and disturbing, Flowers From the Void is a collection of delectably uncanny tales. A reaper readies herself for her next gruesome assignment, and a bereaved African witch prepares for a showdown with a rigidly traditional white Salem coven — while an outcast teenage boy is lured into a pact with a schoolfriend that will cost him far more than he ever imagined.
Hauntingly macabre and piercingly insightful about loss and loneliness, these gothic short stories lead us into a labyrinth of other possible worlds — each one darker than the last and yet all fearfully close to our own. Living dolls serve as imperfect replacements for the deceased, a girl without a shadow finds her soulmate, and spurned lovers’ bodies begin falling to pieces.
In this scintillating debut collection, Gianni Washington explores the limits of intimacy and empathy with the vivid intensity of your worst nightmare.
