From the acclaimed author of
Roses and Rot—
a “Brothers Grimm tale for the contemporary reader” (
School Library Journal
, starred review)—Kat Howard’s exquisite shorter works, nominated for the World Fantasy Award, and performed on WNYC’s Selected Shorts—called “brilliant” (
Library Journal
, starred review).
Kat Howard’s “dark and enticing” (
Publishers Weekly
) debut novel,
Roses and Rot
, was beloved by critics and fans alike.
Now, you can experience her collected shorter works, including two new stories, in
A Cathedral of Myth and Bone
. In these stories, equally as beguiling and spellbinding as her novels, Howard expands into the enchanted territory of myths and saints, as well as an Arthurian novella set upon a college campus, “Once, Future,” which retells the story of King Arthur—through the women’s eyes.
Captivating and engrossing, and adorned in gorgeous prose, Kat Howard’s stories are a fresh and stylish take on fantasy. “Kat Howard seems to possess a magic of her own, of making characters come alive and scenery so vivid, you forget it exists only on the page” (Anton Bogomazov, Politics and Prose).
