This new collection, Splinters of Truth, features fifteen stories, four of them original to this volume, that transport the reader to richly imagined realms one moment and shine a light on our own world's darkest corners the next. A writer of rare passion, Storm delivers here some of her most accomplished work to date. "Storm Constantine is a myth-making Gothic queen. Her stories are poetic, involving, delightful and depraved. I wouldn't swap her for a dozen Anne Rices." - Neil Gaiman "Storm Constantine... is a daring romantic sensualist, as well as a fine storyteller." - Poppy Z Brite "Storm Constantine is a literary fantasist of outstanding power and originality. Her work is rich, idiosyncratic and completely engaging. Her themes have much in common with Philip K Dick - the nature of identify, the nature of reality, the creative power of the human imagination - while her sensibility reminds me of Angela Carter at her most inventive." - Michael Moorcock Contents: 1.Introduction 2.Do As Thou Wilt 3.They Hunt 4.The Order of the Scales 5.Colin's Cough 6.Kiss Booties Night Night 7.Spirit of Place 8.The Fool's Path 9.Haven 10.Return to Gehenna 11.The Farmer's Bride 12.Fireborn 13.Just His Type 14.The Violet House, or Songs the Martyrs Sang 15.A Tour of the House 16.When the Angels Came About the Author
