Apple and Knife Weird Girl Series

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The Vintage Classics WEIRD GIRLS series ventures into the depraved, delectable depths of weird fiction with nine novels by nine pioneering women.

In this dazzling debut story collection from celebrated Indonesian writer Intan Paramaditha, fairytale, taboo, lust and death all come together in a heady, intoxicating mix.

A black velvet butterfly darts out of a cave. Menstrual blood pools in the backseat of a car. Rats pour forth from an open doorway.

These stories set in the Indonesian everyday - in corporate boardrooms, in shanty towns - reveal a soupy otherworld stewing just beneath the surface. Melding horror and myth, this is subversive feminist fiction at its finest, where men and women alike are arbiters of fear, and where revenge is sometimes sweetest when delivered from the grave.

The Vintage Classics Weird Girls series- Dive into the depraved, delectable depths of weird fiction with nine books by nine pioneering female authors. Bold, disruptive, chilling and enchanting, these tales of the weird are strange enough to get lost in.
