"Lanagan solidifies her reputation as mistress of the strange."--The Bulletin Margo Lanagan's electrifying stories take place in worlds not quite our own, and yet each one illuminates what it is to be human. They are stories of yearning for more, and learning to live with what you have. Stories that show the imprint love leaves on us all. If you think you don't like short fiction, that a story can't have the depth or impact of a novel, then you haven't read Margo Lanagan. A writer this startling and this original doesn't come along very often. So for anyone who likes to be surprised, touched, unsettled, intrigued, or scared senseless, prepare to be dazzled by what a master storyteller can do in a few short pages. ★ "This razor-sharp assemblage thrusts readers . . . into alien, hermetic environments and uncompromisingly idiomatic points of view."--Booklist, Starred

Review:
Starred Review, Booklist, October 1, 2007:
"While the stories always startle, they also often murmur about humanity's higher inclinations, including honor, compassion, and different kinds of love." Starred Review, The Horn Book, November/December 2007:
"Lanagan's ten stories delve into the crevices of nightmare, tempation, and helplessness with a mixture of earthy dialect and inventiveness that makes this collection mesmerizing, sometimes horrifying, and occasionally funny."

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Margo Lanagan's "Red Spikes" collection of edgy young adult stories was a World Fantasy nominee in 2007. This copy is a 1st printing of the 2009 Alfred A. Knopf first US trade paper edition (with "First Trade Paperback Edition" and full printing line with "1" on its copyright page.) It is flat signed (no inscription) by Margo Lanagan on its title page. The book is in fine condition, unread, as new. Binding is tight and square, with no reading crease in the spine. Covers are unfaded, unworn and unmarked. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.
