From award-winning author Lynda Clark come sixteen engrossing stories weaving together elements of folklore, fantasy and speculative fiction, all of them in Clark's darkly humorous style.

In Ghillie's Mum, shortlisted for the BBC Short Story Award, a shape-shifting mother needs to decide whether to compromise and stay in her human form, or lose her son. In Total Transparency, a man is learning how to live with a gradually disappearing wife. In Blanks, people are paying to create clones of themselves so they will never die. And in Dreaming in Quantum, there's a murder to be solved which echoes through dimensions only accessible in dreams.

Lynda Clark is the author of Beyond Kidding, a darkly humorous novel published by Fairlight Books in 2019, and Dreaming in Quantum and Other Stories, her debut short story collection published in May 2021.

Beyond Kidding is in development for a feature with Film4, while Dreaming in Quantum contains the highly acclaimed ‘Ghillie's Mum’, which won the 2018 Commonwealth Short Story Prize for Europe and Canada and appeared on numerous shortlists including the BBC Short Story award.

Lynda has a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing and is currently a Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Edinburgh, where she is also Programme Director of the Narrative Futures masters at the Edinburgh Futures Institute. In her spare time, Lynda enjoys walking on the beach with her husband and dog Badger, playing video games, and reading and writing Interactive Fiction. She has recently written a novel about a woman who can talk to household appliances, and is working on a gothic ghost comedy and a memoir about voice, vocal disorders and technology.
