Elsa Wallace "Short and strange, this hypnotic novella is engrossing, wild and curiously beautiful." Gay Times "I cannot remember when I did not know I was different. Even this old part of the palace was richly endowed with sculptures, pictures and tapestries, some of which presented naked figures of women and girls to show me my difference. And then I knew it had always been the case that while Lumika and Aigret undressed freely before me, my clothes were always changed beneath a shift and I was even bathed in this shift. When I once queried the inconvenience of the arrangement Lumika said roughly, 'You know why. Are you like that statue there? No. You are of a different kind that may not be seen.' " A female hyaena can easily be mistaken for a male. Handsome - according to her lights - she enjoys a rich social life. In this brief history, the blood and drug-soaked culture of the fantasy realm of Medjuria is subverted by the manoeuvrings of a gender-bending opportunist. 80 pages; £3.99; 978 0 9525964 2 4 Buy now by credit card...
