'An astounding debut, so full of wonder, outrage, invention, fireworks, sheer brilliance' Edward Carey, author of Little

Step into the past. Rush headlong at the future. The Age of Calamities is here.
Henry VIII wants Anne Boleyn dead, but there's just one small problem: she's alive again by morning, sipping tea at the breakfast table. In the gilded hush of the Winter Palace, the Romanov sisters slip through time and waltz aboard a spaceship bound for the stars. A woman on the run strikes a sinister bargain with the ghost of Joan of Arc, but can she reclaim her body before sunrise?
With flickers of horror and dark humour, The Age of Calamities catapults us through sentient houses, looping timelines and haunted histories. Fiercely inventive and wickedly playful, these stories mark the arrival of a bold new voice in fiction-inviting the reader to confront the past, the present and themselves, all at once.
