As urban dwellers' sleeps become disassociated from them, like Peter Pan's shadow, a city turns insomniac. A teenager entering puberty finds her body transforming in ways very different than her classmates'. As a popular band gathers momentum, the fangirls following their tour turn into something monstrous. After their parents remarry, two step-sisters, one a girl and one a wolf, develop a dangerously close bond. And in an apocalyptic landscape, a pregnant woman begins to realize that the creature in her belly is not what she expected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending elements of horror, science fiction, mythology, and feminism, \u003ci\u003esalt slow\u003c\/i\u003e is an utterly original collection of short stories that are sure to dazzle and shock, heralding the arrival of a daring new voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Armfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250224780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250224781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flatiron Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.42w x 0.61d","brand":"Julia Armfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053110751487,"sku":"9781250224781","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33353bc2-88cf-4ac8-aee9-89da66c85897.jpg?v=1685022469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salt-slow-julia-armfield-9781250224781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
