The Language of Beasts

In a slaughterhouse a group of men find they can tell fortunes from entrails; an invisible shark haunts a childrens book author; redemptive magic is discovered in the ancient chalk horse of the Oxfordshire hills; a woman vicar is possessed by the soul of a reactionary priest - in these seventeen stories of the weird uncanny and fantastical British Fantasy Award winner Jonathan Oliver takes the reader into imagined lives and worlds. Horrifying weird and darkly humorous The Language of Beasts is the first collection of stories from this critically acclaimed editor.
