The Slantwise Histories

Alix E. Harrow's collection of stories weaves together tales of tricksters, ghosts, and everyday magic, exploring marginalized voices and moments from history through a fantastical lens. Spanning settings from ancient battlegrounds to neon-lit highways, these narratives celebrate the resilience of rule-breakers and dissenters, offering stories of escape and triumph. Including her acclaimed novelette The Six Deaths of the Saint and the award-winning A Witch’s Guide to Escape, this anthology showcases Harrow’s talent for blending myth and modernity in compelling, transformative tales.
