Girl with No Hands (and Other Tales) | Angela Slatter

I only just read my first Angela Slatter at the end of last year, but I think I can confidently say she's my favorite Australian author. I can't wait to read more of her this year.

Wow...I want Angela Carter to read like this. I don't often go for fairytale retellings, but this sucked me in. Slatter retains the sinister and grotesque elements found in original fairytales, but gives women more agency. These are darkly humorous and often gruesome, and I will definitely read more.

Another baller rec from Mahvesh Murad's podcast Midnight in Karachi (link below). She has yet to lead me astray. Can we please get Mahvesh on Litsy?

thec0zy I love both Angela Slatter and Mahvesh Murad too! Have you read Of Sorrow and Such? I'd highly recommend it.

Of Sorrow and Such

LindsayReads @thec0zy YAYAYAY!!! Another fan! It's on my TBR! I may have to bump it up... 7y

thec0zy @LindsayReads it's so beautiful, but short too! It's very strongly reminiscent of Sourdough and Other Stories, which is one of her mosaic novels. Ugh sorry, I'm just so happy to gush to someone who loves her stuff too!

Sourdough and Other Stories

LindsayReads @thec0zy Oh man! So much to read...I can't wait! 7y

😂😂 This book has almost entirely featured rather classic fairytale retellings; this story looks like it's veering a bit. 😂😂

SuperPunkNinja Based on that excerpt, I'm in! 7y

LindsayReads @McShelfington Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! 7y

I totally LOVE fairy tales and #fairytaleretellings - I have a whole goodreads shelf devoted to them! I can't wait to see what everyone else posts so I can add to my tbr. 😁 #photoadaynov16
