The Heart is a Mirror for Sinners & Other Stories

SYNOPSIS Welcome to The Heart is a Mirror for Sinners and Other Stories. Slatter s work has been described by the legendary Ramsey Campbell as enviably original, and told in prose as stylish as it s precise. Not just disturbing but often touching, her work enriches and revives the tale of terror. From the fierce changeling children of Finnegan s Field to shades of old gods in Egyptian Revival , from the Lovecraftian echoes of Lavinia s Wood to a new kind of Victorian sleuth in Ripper , and from the re-imagined fairy tale of The Little Mermaid, in Passing to the tender terror of Neither Time nor Tears , the stories in this collection spring from dragons teeth scattered on the field of story. The Heart is a Mirror for Sinners and Other Stories collects twelve reprints and two new unpublished tales, with an Introduction by Kim Newman.
