A Thing of Rags and Patches - Paperback

by Catt Kingsgrave (Author)

This is a book of fireside fancies, mythos, monsters. Stories that peer sidelong at fairy tales, urban myths, history and pop culture, alongside poetry that leads convention in a quickstep around the room, then steals its wallet. You'll find Devils and princesses who don't want your sympathy, but who demand your understanding. You'll address the perils of parenting, whether you're a vampire or a rock star. You'll meet folks who trade in books, in secrets, in navigational coordinates, and in monsters. You'll witness the consequences of leaving some doors shut too long, and the cost of opening others at all.

Author Biography

Catt Kingsgrave has been writing fiction and verse since the '80's and despite everything, has not yet seen fit to desist. With works ranging from Urban to Mythic Fantasy, through Horror and Erotica, she takes delight in making all her works as difficult to classify as possible. When not writing, she has been known to indulge in random bouts of theatre, songwriting, dance, painting, home repair, volunteer rape crisis counseling, and folk music. Her interests are zombie preparedness, criminal profiling, gardening, and full-contact applied mythology. She does not make jam.
