Love in black and white. Blinding winter light and eye-brightening air. Dark stone sinking under the city to buried secrets and rising in a thicket of spires. Bone-coloured skies meeting snowy cobbles like cold potatoes. The stark castle on the hill. The deep chill of the oubliette. The echo of the voice of Kafka. Sugared heat in Styrofoam. The smile of a marionette."</p> <p>Three beautiful short stories - <em>Christmas Lantern</em>, <em>Prague in February</em> and <em>August 28</em> - by Francine Elena, whose writing has also appeared in 'The Best of British Poetry 2013' (Salt), 3:AM Magazine, 'Par Avion' (3:AM Press), Clinic, Poems in Which, Art Wednesday and The London Literary Project. Her stories reveal an arresting and original new voice, whose elegance and imagination will delight readers.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-3am-product-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/store/books/3am/author/francine-elena">Francine Elena</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-pages field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Pages:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">6</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-published field-type-datetime field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Published:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">November 2013</span></div></div></div> Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:00:00 +0000 jordison 172 at https://galleybeggar.co.uk https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/3am-books/christmas-lantern#comments
