From the acclaimed author of Roses and Rotâa âBrothers Grimm tale for the contemporary readerâ (School Library Journal, starred review)âKat Howardâs exquisite shorter works, nominated for the World Fantasy Award, and performed on WNYCâs Selected Shortsâcalled âbrilliantâ (Library Journal, starred review).
Kat Howardâs âdark and enticingâ (Publishers Weekly) debut novel, Roses and Rot, was beloved by critics and fans alike.
Now, you can experience her collected shorter works, including two new stories, in A Cathedral of Myth and Bone. In these stories, equally as beguiling and spellbinding as her novels, Howard expands into the enchanted territory of myths and saints, as well as an Arthurian novella set upon a college campus, âOnce, Future,â which retells the story of King Arthurâthrough the womenâs eyes.
Captivating and engrossing, and adorned in gorgeous prose, Kat Howardâs stories are a fresh and stylish take on fantasy. âKat Howard seems to possess a magic of her own, of making characters come alive and scenery so vivid, you forget it exists only on the pageâ (Anton Bogomazov, Politics and Prose).
