Kelly Barnhill, “Dreadful Young Ladies: And Other Stories”

Newbery Medal and World Fantasy Award-winning author of “The Girl Who Drank the Moon,” Kelly Barnhill shares a stunning collection of acclaimed short fictions, teeming with uncanny characters whose stories unfold in worlds at once strikingly human and eerily original. By an author hailed as “a fantasist on the order of Neil Gaiman” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), the stories in “Dreadful Young Ladies” feature bold, reality-bending fantasy underscored by rich universal themes of love, death, jealousy, and hope.
