Ashley-Smith's first collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Measure of Sorrow,\u003c\/i\u003edraws together ten new and previously acclaimed stories of dark speculative fiction. In these pages a black reef holds the secret to an interminable coastal limbo; a father struggles to relate to his estranged children in a post-bushfire wilderness; an artist records her last days in conversation with her unborn child; a brother and sister are abandoned to the manifestations of their uncle's insanity; a suburban neighbourhood succumbs to an indescribable malaise; teenage ravers fall in with an eldritch crowd; a sensitive New Age guy commits a terminal act of passive-aggression; a plane crash opens the door to the Garden of Eden; the new boy in the village falls victim to a fatal ruse; and a husband's unexpressed grief is embodied in the shadows of a crumbling country barn. Intelligent and emotionally complex, the stories in \u003ci\u003eThe Measure of Sorrow\u003c\/i\u003e elude easy classification, lifting the veil on the wonder and horror of a world just out of true.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50247433519377,"sku":"CIN1946154776G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056576004369,"sku":"NIN9781946154774","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51374191706385,"sku":"NGR9781946154774","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1946154776.jpg?v=1770891676","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/products\/measure-of-sorrow-buch-j-ashley-smith-9781946154774","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
