A Curious Cartography reviewed in ParSec Magazine
April 11, 2025
ParSec has the following to say about A CURIOUS CARTOGRAPHY:
“There are stories set in the UK and across the globe; tales historical, tales contemporary; hauntings on dry land, hauntings at sea. There are narratives drawing on the strange energies of landscape, and others relying on the built environment for their power to unsettle. <br>
“And another journey can be traced from the hauntings, strange beasts, curious longings, dark designs and collisions of the magical and quotidian – the development of Littlewood’s technique over the decade in which the stories were originally published. The most recent stories are the most complex, nuanced and polished, but the earliest are witty, engaging and have considerable emotional heft. <br>
“Affecting, thought provoking and fun. A Curious Cartography is a fine showcase for the talents of Alison Littlewood.”
