Debut author Molly Olgun brings us The Sea Gives Up the Dead, a collection of stories sprinkled into the soil of fairy tales, left to take root and grow wild there.

'Witty, witchy, darkly brilliant' Andrea Barrett

'A wunderkammer of beauty and sorrow.' Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House

A lovesick nanny slays a dragon. The devil tries to save her mother. A girl drowns and becomes a saint. Three kids plot to blow up their dad, a grieving mother sails the sea to find her son's grave, a scientist brings a voice to life, and a mermaid falls into the power of a witch. Here, historical fiction, horror, and fantasy tangle together in a queer garden of love, grief, and longing.
