The Slantwise Histories

Alix E. Harrow's collection of stories weaves together fantastical tales rooted in ordinary magic, tricksters, and ghosts, spanning ancient times to modern landscapes. Celebrated for capturing marginalized voices and exploring mysteries beyond the surface, the stories celebrate resilience and the triumph of rule-breakers and dissenters. Including acclaimed works like The Six Deaths of the Saint and the Hugo-winning A Witch’s Guide to Escape, this collection showcases Harrow's exceptional storytelling talent in uncovering the alternative truths that lie slantwise and by starlight.
