From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lost Lambs, a surreal and darkly funny short story collection that skewers our late-stage-Capitalist reality into a strange, but ultimately life-affirming collage of stories.

'Uncanny, poetic, and bleakly funny' Los Angeles Review of Books

Life is absurd, so is Earth Angel.

A biblical plague rains sentient frogs. A childless millennial throws a slumber party. A young couple try experimental drugs to reignite their relationship. Tales of rebellious school girls and apocalypse-fearing marketing executives.

Bizarre, playful and inextricably linked, these stories transform the anxieties and absurdities of contemporary life into something strange and surreal.

Blending reverence with ridicule, Madeline Cash explores relationships, consumer culture and an uncertain future with bleak humour and undeniable affection for the people in this strange and surreal world - a place that is at times dark, but not without hope.

Praise for Madeline Cash:

'Funny, fast and intoxicating. Believe the hype' Dua Lipa

'Fantastic writing' Sarah Jessica Parker

'Extremely smart, impossibly funny, and just plain fun to read' Caro Claire Burke, author of Yesteryear

'A voice like no other' Lena Dunham

'Eccentric, funny, deeply human... I loved every page' Emma Roberts

'Laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly moving.' Paul Murray, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Bee Sting

'Required reading' Jack Edwards
