The Slantwise Histories

Before turning to fiction, the author was a historian, and her latest collection explores stories of the past, reimagined with a fantastical, slant perspective. Featuring both new and old tales, including "The Six Deaths of the Saint" and "A Witch’s Guide to Escape," the stories delve into overlooked figures and moments from history, highlighting those who defied the odds and broke the rules. Praised by critics and readers alike, these tales blend history with imagination to reveal the hidden stories of people caught in the margins of time.
