About this listen

INDIES INTRODUCE SELECTION ● DEBUT AUTHOR MOLLY OLGUÍN brings us THE SEA GIVES UP THE DEAD, a collection of stories sprinkled into the soil of fairy tales, left to take root and grow wild there.

"A wunderkammer of beauty and sorrow." —Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House ● "Witty, witchy, darkly brilliant" —Andrea Barrett, author of Natural History and Ship Fever ● "Mix the wildness of fairy tales with horror." —Kim Brock, Joseph-Beth Booksellers ● "Fantastical, queer, wildly inventive stories." —Austin Carter, Pocket Books Shop ● "A mouthwatering ride." —Desirae Wilkerson, Paper Boat Booksellers ● "Absolutely fantastic!" —Randy Schiller, Left Bank Books, St. Louis, Missouri

A lovesick nanny slays a dragon. The devil tries to save her mother. A girl drowns and becomes a saint. Three kids plot to blow up their dad, a grieving mother sails the sea to find her son's grave, a scientist brings a voice to life, and a mermaid falls into the power of a witch. Here, historical fiction, horror, and fantasy tangle together in a queer garden of love, grief, and longing.
