Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From the acclaimed author of Roses and Rot-- a "Brothers Grimm tale for the contemporary reader" ( School Library Journal , starred review)--Kat Howard's exquisite shorter works, nominated for the World Fantasy Award, and performed on WNYC's Selected Shorts.

Kat Howard has already been called a "remarkable writer" by Neil Gaiman and her "dark and enticing" ( Publishers Weekly ) debut novel, Roses and Rot , was beloved by critics and fans alike.

Now, you can experience her collected shorter works, including two new stories, in A Cathedral of Myth and Bone . In these stories, equally as beguiling and spellbinding as her novels, Howard expands into the enchanted territory of myths and saints, as well as an Arthurian novella set upon a college campus, "Once, Future," which retells the story of King Arthur--through the women's eyes.

Captivating and engrossing, and adorned in gorgeous prose, Kat Howard's stories are a fresh and stylish take on fantasy. "Kat Howard seems to possess a magic of her own, of making characters come alive and scenery so vivid, you forget it exists only on the page" (Anton Bogomazov, Politics and Prose).

A life in fictions -- The saint of the sidewalks -- Maiden, hunter, beast -- Once, future -- Translatio Corporis -- Dreaming like a ghost -- Murdered sleep -- The speaking bone -- Those are pearls -- All of our past places -- Saints' tide -- Painted birds and shivered bones -- Returned -- The calendar of saints -- The green knight's wife -- Breaking the frame.
