SIGNED BOOKPLATE EDITION
 
Fiercely powerful short fiction about the darkest aspects of human nature, from the acclaimed author of Tender is the Flesh
 
‘Bazterrica’s writing is ferocious; she has vision and intent. When you least expect it, her narrative hits her target, and leaves you trembling’ Samanta Schweblin, author of Fever Dream
 
In these tense, macabre stories, bodies fall from the sky, perfect nails conceal grisly secrets and violence pulses behind gleaming façades. From hellish visions to obsessive relationships, acclaimed author Agustina Bazterrica takes us to the dark heart of human desires and fears.
 
Shocking, brutal, yet glinting with sharp humour, 19 Claws and a Black Bird is a breathtaking dive into human monstrousness from a master of contemporary horror.
