Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. Walking ahead of him on the heath, his wife turns to look at him over her shoulder, `Topaz eyes glinting. Scorched face. Vixen.` In language harvested from nature, Sarah Hall tells a story of metamorphosis, of wildness and fecundity, and of a man reaching for reason, who cannot let go of the creature he loves. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
