A event held at Bookhaus on Tuesday 4th February. The event starts at 18:00.
A deliciously dark collection of love stories to sink your teeth into, from the prizewinning author of NOW SHE IS WITCH
Can 'no' be a declaration of love? What happens when love is savage, dangerous and all-consuming? In this gorgeous and unsettling collection, women navigate the complexities and cruelties of desire across time and place, from a medieval convent to a Victorian parlour to a 1990s high school.
* An expectant mother feeds raw meat to the wasp's nest in her shed.
* A pair of sapphic lovers use ghost possession to fleece money from lecherous men.
* One woman in wartime London discovers that she loves her husband much more as a ghost.
* A teenage girl becomes infatuated with a bloodthirsty succubus.
Intensely atmospheric, surprising and darkly funny, this collection is a richly flavoured feast from a brilliant writer in full command of the form.
Kirsty will be in conversation here at bookhaus. Tickets cost £6 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink.
'Absolutely obsessed. Savage, strange and spicy, No & Other Love Stories is a fearsome and tart collection of short stories that will devour you whole' Lucy Rose, author of Lamb
'In her inimitable style, Kirsty Logan powerfully explores both the power of refusal and the wild, sharp, unruly edges of women's desire. No & Other Love Stories is a dark delight, steeped in blood red honey' Heather Parry, author of Orpheus Builds A Girl
'Exploring the dark underbelly of love in all its guises, Kirsty Logan’s words writhe on the page, a gothic homage to the visceral, haunting, unnerving nature of human connection. An unsettling collection from one of the sharpest, strangest short story writers working today' Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
'No one writes about the horrific and the erotic, and the tangled up intersections of both, like Kirsty Logan. This book will make you sweat' Anna Bogutskaya, author of Feeding The Monster
'Darkly graceful, innovative, sexy and funny. Kirsty Logan is a jewel' Camilla Grudova, author of The Doll's Alphabet
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
