Description: Praise for Kirsty Logan's The Rental Heart and Other Fairytales : Longlisted for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award Winner of the Saboteur Award for Best Short Story Collection Winner of the Scott Prize for Short Stories "Kirsty Logan is an exquisite writer who possesses the uncanny ability to make even the most mundane detail beautifully compelling. If you want to be captivated, if you want to be utterly taken, reach for this book and don't let go."-- Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist "Alarmingly good . . . Concise, vividly written and full of dark, arresting imagery." -- The Herald "[Logan] brings to mind Angela Carter, or Atwood or Winterson at their best...An exciting emerging voice, and The Rental Heart is an addictively enjoyable addition to the welcome resurgence of the short story. It displays an unexpectedly dizzying range of styles for a debut effort, putting Logan at the top of the "ones to watch" list. It's always exciting to see such a bold, fresh new talent, and if Logan carries on in this vein, she'll become a staple of the awards shortlists."- -Independent
