L. W. Currey, Inc.

Lanagan, Margo. RED SPIKES. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, [2007]. Octavo, boards. First edition in English. Collects ten stories. "After 2000 or so, Lanagan maintained her primary interest in fantasy (she is a significant twenty-first-century contributor to the field), but very considerably increased the intensity and maturity of her work, publishing a large number of memorable stories, assembled as WHITE TIME (2000), BLACK JUICE (2004; exp 2006) and RED SPIKES (2006). The publication in the UK and USA of these titles immensely, and rather suddenly, broadened her reputation as an author of unremittingly focused tales whose protagonists -– usually adolescents in extremis -– do not necessarily flourish from their immersion in the very being of the world." - John Clute, SFE (online). A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#103093).
