a curious cartography

Alison Littlewood, author of A Cold Season, The Hidden People, Mistletoe and, as A. J. Elwood, The Other Lives of Miss Emily White, among other novels, is also a winner of the Shirley Jackson Award for Short Fiction.

Her tales have been picked for Best British Horror, The Best Horror of the Year, The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy and Horror and The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror anthologies, as well as Year’s Best Weird Fiction, Best British Fantasy and The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime.

The stories in A Curious Cartography not only chart a writer’s journey but range across the globe: from Vietnam to Sweden, from London to New York, from Cornwall to Lancashire and the Yorkshire coast.

Some discover lands more curious still, beyond the reach of any map...
