Of Sorrow and Such
Of Sorrow and Such | Angela Slatter
11 posts | 11 read | 28 to read
Mistress Gideon is a witch. The locals of Edda's Meadow, if they suspect it of her, say nary a word-Gideon has been good to them, and it's always better to keep on her good side. Just in case.When a foolish young shapeshifter goes against the wishes of her pack, and gets herself very publicly caught, the authorities find it impossible to deny the existence of the supernatural in their midst any longer; Gideon and her like are captured, bound for torture and a fiery end.Should Gideon give up her sisters in return for a quick death? Or can she turn the situation to her advantage?PRAISE FOR OF SORROW AND SUCH"Of Sorrow and Such takes you to dark, unsettling places. Angela Slatter's magic is earthy, bodily and beleaguered; in the hands of tough, clever Patience Gideon it's a powerful instrument for wresting justice from a hostile world. A riveting read." Margo Lanagan, World Fantasy Award winning author of Black Juice and Sea-Hearts

Bk7 of my #MarchBookHaul & #BirthdayBookHaul is this slim volume about witches & the supernatural and what happens to them when fear and superstitions are aroused. Mistress Gideon is a witch, all her neighbours know & she‘s been good to them. But when a shapeshifter goes rogue, Gideon and her fellow non-humans are targeted for torture & the fires. I‘m sure this won‘t be a happy read but it‘ll be intense.

Fun little...novella? Short story? I got it as part of a bundle audiobook deal from Tor. A refreshing story about witches that doesn't end the way I thought it would.

Soubhiville I really liked this one! 8y

"How easily we are thrown back to the hopefulness of childhood when someone tells us a story."

A short, darkly beautiful tale about magic, hatred and its consequences. I love that so many of Slatter's stories connect. Can't wait for more! (Luke and his penguin snoozing in the background.) #dogsoflitsy

charl08 Love the quote - and the picture. 8y
Linsy Thanks @charl08! 8y

Reading more of this novella today. Only on chapter 3 but the premise seems interesting.
