(1) YA Lanagan's (Black Juice, White Time) ten stories delve into the crevices of nightmare, temptation, and helplessness. She has an unerring ear for patterns of speech and for weird, terrifying combinations of words that conjure startling images. Physical desire and repugnance go uneasily hand in hand in most of the stories, which have the intensity of folktale and a powerfully visceral style.
