The Language of Beasts by Jonathan Oliver

In a slaughterhouse a group of men find they can tell fortunes from entrails; an invisible shark haunts a children's book author; redemptive magic is discovered in the ancient chalk horse of the Oxfordshire hills; a woman vicar is possessed by the soul of a reactionary priest - in these seventeen stories of the weird, uncanny and fantastical, British Fantasy Award winner Jonathan Oliver takes the reader into imagined lives and worlds. Horrifying, weird and darkly humorous, The Language of Beasts is the first collection of stories from this critically acclaimed editor.

Jonathan Oliver has performed in theaters all around England, including the Royal National Theatre's War and Peace, Leicester Haymarket's The Homecoming, and the Bridwell's Antony and Cleopatra. Eskimo Day, House of Eliott, and Hannay are among his television credits, and he also works in voice-over and radio.
