Bread and Circuses by Felicity Dowker
The debut collection by award-winning Australian dark fantasist Felicity Dowker.

"She is one of those rare and talented writers of horror who can creep you out while still making you admire the graceful construction of her prose." - World Fantasy Award nominee Angela Slatter

"Felicity Dowker is one of the all-too-rare writers who really understands both horror and its appeal. She can show the terrifying aspect of things as outre as enchanted dragons or the zombie apocalypse, or as commonplace as dysfunctional families and the Santa Claus army. To borrow her own words, 'It hurts, and it's horrible, and it's beautiful . . . and we might as well enjoy it'." - Award-winning Stephen Dedman
