VINTAGE CLASSICS//WEIRD GIRLS: Dive into the depraved, delectable depths of women's weird fiction.
A dazzling, provocative debut story collection from celebrated Indonesian writer Intan Paramaditha, putting fierce female characters centre stage in brilliantly funny and sharp twists on fairy tale.
Inspired by horror fiction, myths and fairy tales, Apple and Knife is an unsettling ride that swerves into the supernatural to explore the dangers and power of occupying a woman's body in today's world.
These stories set in the Indonesian everyday - in corporate boardrooms, in shanty towns, on dangdut stages - reveal a soupy otherworld stewing just beneath the surface. This is subversive feminist horror at its best, where men and women alike are arbiters of fear, and where revenge is sometimes sweetest when delivered from the grave.
'Dark, subversive... Here are fairy tales and myths reworked with a feminist bent' Tatler
The VINTAGE CLASSICS//WEIRD GIRLS series ventures into the dark heart of the uncanny with disturbed, and disturbing, protagonists who dare to defy the norm. Bold, deviant, chilling and enchanting, these tales of the weird are strange enough to get lost in.
