“Mesmerising, at times shocking, and teeming with honesty, wit, razor-sharp prose and gasp-inducing insights, it’s no exaggeration to say that this is the finest and bravest collection of short stories I’ve ever read.” Sarah Lotz, author of Missing Person and Reborn

Diane Awerbuck's books include the thriller Home Remedies; the memoir Gardening at Night (2004 Commonwealth Best First Book Award for Africa and the Caribbean); the poetry collection As above, so below, and the short story collection Cabin Fever.
