Synopsis "The Language of Knives: Stories"

"Stylish, macabre, and startling as a cigarette burn . . . A haunting debut."-Angela Slatter, Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy Award winnerA murderous nine-headed monster from legend permits a podcast interview. The mall has opened its doors, and nothing, not even certain death, will keep the shoppers away. A dead man's curse drives his descendants to drown themselves, no matter how far from home they flee. An eerie haunted house attraction receives an even more unnerving guest. A grieving widower, knife in hand, undertakes a painstaking, gruesome ritual to appease the gods. If seeking a boon from Baba Yaga sounds nerve-shattering, imagine having to live under her roof.These thirteen tales from Bulgarian author Haralambi Markov meld Slavic mythology, pitch-black humor, and moving explorations of queer identity with vistas rooted in body horror and nightmares, yielding results that are sometimes deeply disquieting, sometimes surprisingly hopeful, and always strikingly novel. As Hugo and World Fantasy award-winning editor Ann VanderMeer states in her introduction, Markov "writes with such power and intensity that you can't imagine where they get the courage to put such words on paper. Their work challenges us to face our fears, our insecurities, and not look away.""Like being flayed on the inside of your eyelids, but in a good way. So weird. So queer. So nauseating. And so, so beautiful."-C. S. E. Cooney, World Fantasy Award winner
