Reviews

'Rarely will you find a collection of stories so keenly attuned to the anxieties of the world we live in, expressed with such urgent beauty: Out of the Window, Into the Dark situates itself at the intersection of past, present and future, of allegory, elegy and warning. As affirming as they are devastating, these are stories which remind us that art and truth are still worth fighting for.' Laura Mauro 'Marian Womack is a formidable talent. Each story in Out of the Window, Into the Dark sparkles like cut glass... A mesmeric must-read'. Helen Marshall 'Marian Womack writes stories with a watchful, intelligent eye on the world. The tales in this collection discuss many possibilities with a discomfiting yet poetic clarity I hugely admire.' Aliya Whiteley 'Tales that evoke the wild worldbuilding of Ursula LeGuin and the unsettling domesticity of Shirley Jackson... Unpredictable, yet consistently affecting and rewarding.' Tim Major 'Marian Womack's shrapnel-sharp, deeply compassionate stories crackle with furious life and invention.' Malcolm Devlin 'This is a gorgeous, thought-provoking collection, weaving together multiple pasts and presents, and reflecting on uncertain futures. There is horror, and beauty, and very dark humour, and most of all there is an intense engagement with an increasingly fragile world. I'll be thinking about these stories long after the final page.' Sarah L Brooks
