Yellow Cake brings together another ten short stories from this extraordinarily talented writer - each of them fiercely original and quietly heartbreaking. Ranging from fantasy and fairy tale to horror and stark reality, what pervades these stories is the sense of humanity. The people of Lanagan's worlds face trials, temptations and degradations. They swoon and suffer and even kill for love. In a dangerous world, they seek the solace and strength that comes from family and belonging. These are stories to be savoured slowly and pondered deeply because they cut to the very heart of who we are.
There are 256 pages in this book. This is a short story book. This book was published 2013 by Random House Children's Publishers UK .
Margo Lanagan is a versatile writer, and an editor. She combines a sure sense of plot, startling use of language, and a deep understanding of teenage emotions.
