“THE DARK NEST by Sue Harper contains 49 short yet fully realised tales drawing on the Gothic, the surreal, the erotic, the blackly humorous: a dog who can talk, a woman whose skin becomes transparent, the discovery of a dead Martian in a wood, the purchase of a doll who comes alive. The influence of Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood is clearly present in Sue's work, as well as that of the artists, Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning.” A “Keynote” (small trim size) edition #65863
