‘Priya Sharma explores liminality and otherness with skill and verve in her engaging and haunting stories.’ – Alison Moore, Author of the Man Booker shortlisted ‘The Lighthouse’
“Priya Sharma has been writing and publishing short stories for over a decade, and I’m delighted that she’s finally receiving the recognition her work deserves. She’s extremely skillful in creating characters with whom we can empathize – no matter their deeds – leading her readers down roads of beauty and horror. I especially love her award-winning novelette ‘Fabulous Beasts,’ a perfect piece of storytelling.” – Ellen Datlow, Best Horror of the Year series
