Alabaster
An albino girl wanders the sun-scorched backroads of a south Georgia summer, following the bidding of an angel – or perhaps only voices in her head – searching out and slaying ancient monsters who have hidden themselves away in the lonely places of the world.
Caitlín R. Kiernan first introduced Dancy in the pages of her award-winning second novel,Threshold (2001), then went on to write several more short stories and a novella about this unlikely heroine, each a piece, of which, has become an epic dark fantasy narrative. Alabaster finally collects all these tales into one volume, illustrated by Ted Naifeh (Gloomcookie,Courtney Crumrin).
Contents:
- Author's Preface
- Les Fleurs Empoisonnées
- The Well of Stars and Shadow
- Waycross
- Alabaster
