Necrologue - the Diva Book of the Dead and the Undead
Lambda Literary Award Finalist 2004
Thirty stories to get under your skin
The Diva Book Of The Dead And The Undead
From death on the bus to sex in the graveyard, via self-cannibalism and mind-reading, ghosties and Ouija, murder and ashes. Memory, spirit and loss run through these stories, which treat mortality, the occult and the unknowable in new and surprising ways.
With contributions from Cara Bruce, Stella Duffy, Ann Rower, Ali Smith, Cecilia Tan and Elizabeth Woodcraft, plus many more new and established voices, Necrologue is for fans of horror, ghost stories and quality fiction and for haunted women everywhere.
