All the Souls by Mary-Ann Constantine
From poignant and dangerous obsessions with the iconic, to direct, often puzzled, conversations with ghosts, the characters in this short story collection strive to make contact with the impossible. A girl becomes obsessed with a figure she only sees through a Camera Obscura; an angry man strikes up a friendship with a sixth-century saint; and a revenant mother by a mountain lake tries to explain herself to a grieving friend. With a keen sensitivity for language and storytelling, this book draws on the dark side of folklore and superstition as it explores the themes of collecting and recovering from the past.
Mary-Ann Constantine studies Romantic period literature, with an emphasis on Wales and Brittany, at Aberystwyth University and has published widely in these fields since 1996. Her short stories have appeared over a number of years in the New Welsh Review and Planet and her first collection, The Breathing, was published by Planet in 2008.
