Yellow Cake brings together another ten short stories from this extraordinarily talented writer - each of them fiercely original and quietly heartbreaking.

Ranging from fantasy and fairy tale to horror and stark reality, what pervades these stories is the sense of humanity. The people of Lanagan's worlds face trials, temptations and degradations. They swoon and suffer and even kill for love. In a dangerous world, they seek the solace and strength that comes from family and belonging.

These are stories to be savoured slowly and pondered deeply because they cut to the very heart of who we are.

Industry Reviews

"Another beautifully crafted collection of literary short stories form the pen of Margo Lanagan. One to reach for again and again" * Children's Books Ireland: recommended reads * "Each rereading will offer another chance to luxuriate in the richness of the language . . . For thoughtful and reflective young adult(and adult) readers." * Children's Books Ireland: recommended reads * "The absolute pinnacle of short fiction writers for any age group . . . I'm sure Lanagan has been compared to Angela Carter elsewhere but the often over-looked strange stories of Robert Aickman also spring to mind. Lanagan has a beguiling imagination while her prose is luxurious quicksand and its all too easy for the reader to become dragged under." -- Keith Gray * The Scotsman * "10 emotional short stories - all beautifully and hauntingly written...These are not stories to race through, they are stories to be savoured." * Parents in Touch * "We should always make time for short stories. Especially if they are written by Margo Lanagan...Everything is earthy even when it's magic, and so, so believable. I get lost in the worlds she creates and sometimes it's quite difficult to wake myself up when I've finished reading." -- Jill Murphy * The Book Bag *
