We’re delighted to announce Reflex Press has acquired Ravished, a collection of short fiction by Anna Vaught.
Ravished, subtitled A Series of Reflections on Age, Sex, Death, and Judgement, is the second collection from Vaught, following Famished (Influx). These are peculiar tales, weird fiction, gothic, unusual, full of literary allusion, threaded through with classical and Welsh reference, occasionally starring the author’s relatives and the Virgin Mary. Sometimes funny, morbid, potentially inspiring, Ravished is both revolting and pretty; both awful and yet optimistic in the stress it places on playful language and the abundance of the imagination.
Ravished will be published in Autumn 2022. Subscribe to our email newsletter for preorder information and subscriber discounts.
