From the acclaimed author of Roses and Rot-- a "Brothers Grimm tale
for the contemporary reader" (School Library Journal, starred
review)--Kat Howard's exquisite shorter works, nominated for the World
Fantasy Award, and performed on WNYC's Selected Shorts.
Kat Howard has already been called a "remarkable writer" by Neil Gaiman
and her "dark and enticing" (Publishers Weekly) debut novel, Roses
and Rot, was beloved by critics and fans alike.
Now, you can experience her collected shorter works, including two new
stories, in A Cathedral of Myth and Bone. In these stories, equally as
beguiling and spellbinding as her novels, Howard expands into the
enchanted territory of myths and saints, as well as an Arthurian novella
set upon a college campus, "Once, Future," which retells the story of
King Arthur--through the women's eyes.
Captivating and engrossing, and adorned in gorgeous prose, Kat Howard's
stories are a fresh and stylish take on fantasy. "Kat Howard seems to
possess a magic of her own, of making characters come alive and scenery
so vivid, you forget it exists only on the page" (Anton Bogomazov,
Politics and Prose).
