Description

A provocative debut story collection from celebrated Indonesian writer Intan Paramaditha puts fierce female characters centre stage in sharp twists on fairy tale. Dark, subversive and humorous, these stories explore the dangers and power of occupying a female body in today's world. Inspired by horror fiction, myths and fairy tales, Apple and Knife delves into the supernatural to uncover the secrets and taboos that lie just beneath the surface of everyday life. With its vivid and intoxicating mix of sex, death and inversion, this collection is a heady and unsettling ride. Subversive feminist horror at its best, where men and women alike are arbiters of fear, Apple and Knife brings together a unique blend of genres to create something truly unforgettable.
