British Fantasy Award-winning author, and Shirley Jackson Award finalist Laura Mauro, a leading voice in contemporary dark fiction, delivers a remarkable debut collection of startling short fiction. Human and humane tales of beauty, strangeness, and transformation told in prose as precise and sparing as a surgeon's knife. A major new talent! Featuring "Looking for Laika," winner of the British Fantasy Award, and "Sun Dogs," a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award. Advance Praise for Sing Your Sadness Deep "Laura Mauro's SING YOUR SADNESS DEEP is a beautiful foray into the strange and uncanny. She digs deep into the psyche of her characters, revelling in the mysteries that propel them through their confrontations with the liminal and the bizarre. A sublime and haunting debut." — Simon Strantzas, author of NOTHING IS EVERYTHING "Laura Mauro does indeed sing her sadness deep, with assured melodies, strange resonances and beautiful harmonies. This is just her first collection—I can't wait to see what she will do next." — Priya Sharma, author of ALL THE FABULOUS BEASTS "Laura Mauro's work exists in the hard space where the mythic collides with the everyday, where fairy tales transform into stories that feel modern and urgent. These are horror stories, yes—but it's horror born from a cry for compassion and understanding. Disturbing and heartfelt, beautiful yet grotesque, they reveal strange new worlds whilst shining a light on the world we think we know." —Robert Shearman, author of TINY DEATHS

Biography/History:
I am represented by Max Edwards at Apple Tree Literary: max@appletreeliterary.co.uk Email: Laura.N.Mauro at gmail dot com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/l.n.Mauro Twitter: https://twitter.com/LauraNMauro Most writers will tell you they've been writing since they were small, and I'm no exception. I started out writing poems, which graduated into awful teenage angst poems (with the requisite soujourn into Sprawling Epic Fantasy Novel territory). I started writing short stories in 2011 but never took it seriously until 2012, when my first short story was published in 'Shadows and Tall Trees'. Since then, I've been what you might call a 'serious' writer, although I'm yet to give up my day job (it's part of The Dream, along with the apartment in Osaka and the functioning knee joints...) I'm also a sometime pro wrestling journalist; my article on the Golden Lovers received a Kevin Kelly shout-out during NJPW's G1 tournament, which I haven't stopped talking about. In 2018, my short story "Looking for Laika" won the British Fantasy Award for Best Short Story. I haven't stopped talking about that, either. I was born and raised in south east London and currently live in Essex under extreme duress. When I'm not making things up I enjoy reading, travelling, watching wrestling, playing video games, collecting tattoos, dyeing my hair strange colours and making up nicknames for my cats.
