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 Clarkes alternate Europe and the surreal metafictions of Jorge Luis Borges.

The elegance of Gosss work has never ceased to amaze me.
Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

The infamous girl monsters of nineteenth-century fiction gather in London and form their own club. In the imaginary country of Th?le, characters from folklore band together to fight a dictator. An intrepid girl reporter finds the hidden land of Ozand 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.
