The Wrong Girl & Other Warnings - Angela Slatter

From the award-winning Angela Slatter, author of The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings , All The Murmuring Bones , and The Path of Thorns, comes a collection of twelve short stories showcasing the scope of her extraordinary talent. Throughout The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings , Slatter shows us that 'innocent' should never be mistaken for 'safe', while spinning tales of witches, Victorian-era detectives, bad parents, unrepentant killers, and ancient wisdom. In A Matter Of Light, detective Kit Casswell is called upon to lend her experience with the supernatural to a very unwilling consulting detective. In Widows' Walk, a quartet of witches band together in a single house, secretly working to protect young women. In the titular tale, The Wrong Girl , a frustrated artist turns the romance of her fickle friend and tiresome sister into a deadly masterpiece. Wry, savage, and written with the precision of a writer at the top of her game, The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings is a gift to those who already love Slatter's fiction and those discovering her exquisite stories for the first time.
