"When I read Whiteley's short stories I think of Japanese netsuke - magnificent miniatures, perfect in every detail. But netsuke don't keep me awake at night." - M. R. Carey


A new collection from one of the most exciting voices in genre fiction. Nineteen stories, eleven of them original to this collection, all themed on travel, be it a desperate need to be somewhere else or a burning desire to escape what's been left behind.

"Rich Growth"... keeps the focus on transformation and the lines between people and the natural world. Here gardeners use their own blood and energy to grow vines up to precious gemflowers... and the story explores the grief and freedom that comes along with that." - Locus


'Luisa Opines' is a real oddity, part fairy tale, part satirical comment on social/marketing surveys that attempt to mould our preferences... The story is quirky and surreal, and concludes with a great line that signals Luisa's refusal to accept certainty." - IZ Digital
