Your Sons and Your Daughters are Beyond cover

Weird queer fiction with a folkloric twist.

"Who's afraid of a girl who shines bright?" Rosie Garland's spellbinding short story collection explores extraordinary people defying expectations. Blurring natural and supernatural, these enchanting yet disquieting stories unveil the extraordinary within ordinary people. Garland deftly unveils our deepest fears and desires, embracing transformative potential. Brace for a journey pushing imagination's limits, where the impossible becomes reality.

'A heady mix of the surreal and all too real, this collection is by turns beguiling and horrifying. These are stories for lovers of Angela Carter and Franz Kafka, but Garland also gives them their own sensibility, their own biting tongues. Each little beast of a tale creates its own often fantastical world, yet it beats with an eerie reality of the world we live in. I dare you to read it.' - Molly Aitken, Author of Bright I Burn


‘Girls who burn brightly as comets, children whose animal nature is revealed in “pelts of rough hair, bright orange eyes, mouths bristling with pointed teeth”, and red plastic glasses that offer a fresh perspective on a stale relationship are the subjects of Garland’s unsettling, surreal tales.

Many of the stories here are very short – a page or two at the most – and likeably strange – transforming ordinary experiences into the extraordinary.’
