Omschrijving
Dark folktales retold for modern times by some of the most exciting women writing today, from Daisy Johnson to Eimear McBride
Engaging, modern fables with a feminist tang
A thoroughly original package that had a hint of Angela Carter
Sharp writing and cleverly done
Relevant and intriguing
It's easy to get lost in the stories from diverse voices
Simply and beautifully executed
Freshly feminist
Leaves the reader yearning to believe in the redemptive power of magic
Vivid, perceptive. At the heart of each mystical story is a woman, who, often on the cusp of a new beginning, remains haunted by traumas from her past.
Hag swarms with mermaids, boggarts and shape-shifters but it also explores the hopes and visceral dreads from which those creatures emerged in the human imagination. Daisy Johnson's wittily disquieting take on The Green Children of Woolpit is a masterclass.
Together the authors of Hag have published over 50 works, with several national bestsellers. They have won awards including the AM Heath Prize for fiction, Harper's Bazaar short story prize Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award, Edge Hill Short Story Prize, Lambda Literary Award, Polari Prize, Saboteur Award, Scott Prize, Gavin Wallace Fellowship, Goldsmith Prize, Women's Prize, SI Leeds Literary Prize, Bristol Short Story Prize, and Betty Trask Award; and they have been nominated for countless others.
