Product Description

Vintage Classics WEIRD GIRLS: Dive into the depraved, delectable depths of women’s weird fiction.

Is Sophie Fevvers, toast of Europe''s capitals, part swan...or all fake?

Courted by the Prince of Wales and painted by Toulouse-Lautrec, she is an aerialiste extraordinaire and star of Colonel Kearney''s circus. She is also part woman, part swan. Jack Walser, an American journalist, is on a quest to discover the truth behind her identity. Dazzled by his love for her, and desperate for the scoop of a lifetime, Walser has no choice but to join the circus on its magical tour through turn-of-the-nineteenth-century London, St Petersburg and Siberia.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SARAH WATERS

''Raunchy, raucous...a rich, turn of the 19th century world, which reeks of human and animal variety'' The Times


The Vintage Classics WEIRD GIRLS series ventures into the dark heart of the uncanny with disturbing, and disturbed, protagonists who dare to defy the norm. Bold, disruptive, chilling and enchanting, these tales of the weird are strange enough to get lost in.
