Scorpion Girl

We all have our demons. In Scorpion Girl, women of all ages face theirs.
From battlefields to bedrooms, in these stories nothing is what it seems:
creatures from myth, legend, history and literature rub shoulders with
ordinary—and extraordinary—people. From ghosts to scientists, from eco-
terrorists to time travellers, these courageous women come face to face with
the uncanny, the supernatural and the bizarre. They meet the challenges with
whatever they can muster—from the casual bravery of a woman warrior to
the stoic endurance of a refugee child. Like all of us, they try to make sense
of the unstable, conflicted world in which they find themselves.
Scorpion Girl is a must-read collection for everyone who enjoys fast-paced,
unsettling, provocative fiction.
