Books by Kirsty Logan

A shocking collection of dark stories, ranging from chilling contemporary fairytales to disturbing supernatural fiction, by a talented writer who has been compared to Angela Carter. So here we go, into the dark. Some things can't be spoken about in the light of day.

'The best lives leave a mark.' A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.

In their tiny, sea-beaten cottage on the north coast of Scotland, Liska and Ruth await the birth of their first child.

North lives on a circus boat with her beloved bear, keeping a secret that could capsize her life. Callanish lives alone in her house in the middle of the ocean, tending the graves of those who die at sea.

Twenty tales of lust and loss. These stories feature clockwork hearts, lascivious queens, paper men, island circuses, and a flooded world; some are radical retellings of classic stories, some are modern-day fables, but all explore substitutions for love.
