Master writers of short stories in a variety of genres and styles are showcased in the groundbreaking series of standalone volumes called Faber Stories.
A train that sounds like "guilt, and guilt, and guilt," blood-colored lips, an unheard-of orange sun, and these are just a few of the things Mary Ventura starts to notice while travelling to the ninth kingdom.
What is the ninth kingdom, though? A friendly-looking woman in her carriage asks her. The answer is, "It is the kingdom of the frozen will." "There's no turning around."
Written shortly after she left home herself, Sylvia Plath's odd and terrible story of freedom over infanticide explores mortality in action.
In honour of our 90th year, Faber Stories is a celebration compilation of collectible works that brings together the past, present, and future.
