From the award-winning Angela Slatter, author of The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings, All The Murmuring Bones, and * The Path of Thorns,*comes a collection of twelve short stories showcasing the scope of her extraordinary talent.

Throughout* The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings *, Slatter shows us that 'innocent' should never be mistaken for 'safe', while spinning tales of witches, Victorian-era detectives, bad parents, unrepentant killers, and ancient wisdom.

In * A Matter Of Light,detective Kit Casswell is called upon to lend her experience with the supernatural to a very unwilling consulting detective. In Widows' Walk,a quartet of witches band together in a single house, secretly working to protect young women. In the titular tale, The Wrong Girl *, a frustrated artist turns the romance of her fickle friend and tiresome sister into a deadly masterpiece.

Wry, savage, and written with the precision of a writer at the top of her game, The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings is a gift to those who already love Slatter's fiction and those discovering her exquisite stories for the first time.
