Description
Margo Lanagan writes utterly original teen fiction, both novels and short stories, filled with terror, fantasy, and tireless invention. Her world-building work combines the feel of a folktale with the strangeness of the world only a bit off-kilter, intermingling of magic and harsh reality, peopled with complex characters who experience real-world pain while also standing in for fairy tale roles. Lanagan's themes are fearsome at times, touching on death, violence, imprisonment, and cruelty, yet her tales are always intelligent and literate, invariably presented in clever, lyrical prose.
