Enter for your chance to win a copy of Gunflower, the mesmerising new short story collection from Arthur C. Clarke award winning–author Laura Jean McKay!
‘Amidst a pile of shed skin and fur, McKay moulds a kaleidoscopic and horrifyingly real portrait of life at the fringes. By turns gritty, surreal, and absurd, Gunflower isn’t afraid to weigh flesh on the scales of our own judgments, a delicate balancing act between life and death, connection and disconnection. Perhaps part Kelly Link and Ottessa Moshfegh, McKay delivers an assured follow-up to The Animals in That Country in her own singular voice that zeroes in on our anxieties and existential crises with deft and often poetic flair.’ — SEQUOIA NAGAMATSU, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOW HIGH WE GO IN THE DARK
