A marriage dissolves in the middle of a spacewalk...

A lonely robot searches for the remains of a long-lost child...

An empty nester is haunted by victims of the bushfires that surround her home...

These are tales of breaking and rebuilding, falling apart and being put back together.

The stories in The Art of Broken Things blur the line between genres to explore some of our deepest, most fundamentally human concerns: what does it mean to build a family? And what are we willing to sacrifice, to keep that family together?

From multiple award-winning author Joanne Anderton comes a new collection of dark science fiction, horror, and weird.

Industry Reviews

"Few things are more enjoyable or disturbing than a Joanne Anderton story. They feel like reality with the gravity turned off and, freed from those surly bonds, you float. But beware: broken things lurk in the darkness of space, earth, sea - and they're hungry." - Angela Slatter, award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones

"Mining human reality in unreal tales of science and the supernatural, The Art of Broken Things is a dark treasure, Anderton's own Kintsugi collection, with each exquisite story a teacup edged with gold." - Lee Murray, double Bram Stoker Award®-winner and author of Grotesque: Monster Stories

"Joanne Anderton is a master of the uncanny. Each of her stories is like a torch shone into the dark crevices of the imagination, and you may not always like what they reveal: terror, wonder, and a strange, dark beauty. Highly recommended." - Helen Marshall, author of The Migration
