Description
"Pure goth." --Leigh Harlen, author of Queens of Noise and Blood Like Garnets
The stories in this collection of dark fantasy and horror short stories grapple with the complexities of identity, racism, homophobia, immigration, oppression and patriarchy through nature, gothic hauntings, Trinidadian folklore and shape shifting.
