Book Overview

by Ann VanderMeer (Author), Helen Marshall (Author)

Winner of the World Fantasy Award and the Shirley Jackson Award


"Helen Marshall uses the fantastic to pry her way inside her readers' ribcages and break us wide open." --Neil Gaiman


Ghost thumbs. Microscopic dogs. One very sad can of tomato soup . . .Helen Marshall's second collection offers a series of twisted surrealities that explore the legacies we pass on to our children. A son seeks to reconnect with his father through a telescope that sees into the past. A young girl discovers what lies on the other side of her mother's bellybutton. Death's wife prepares for a very special funeral.



In Gifts for the One Who Comes After, Marshall delivers seventeen tales of love and loss that cement her as a powerful voice in dark fantasy and the New Weird. Dazzling, disturbing, and deeply moving

."...in turns chilling, heart-wrenching and uplifting. Marshall has a way with words that makes even the most peculiar seem possible, and the stories here are each so layered with character and meaning, they are like perfect, condensed novels." --Kaaron Warren

"Gifts For The One Who Comes After should single out Marshall as one of the most accomplished writers of the fantastic being published today." --This Is Horror
