Red Room: New Short Stories Inspired by the Brontes

By Vanessa Gebbie, Alex Brown, Zoë King

A celebration of the Bronte Sisters by some of Britain's best writers RED ROOM: NEW SHORT STORIES INSPIRED BY THE BRONT S continues Unthank Books' commitment to celebrating the short story. The collection includes twelve new stories by some of Britain's most accomplished writers, many of whom have won prizes such as the Macmillan/PEN Prize, the BBC National Short Story Award, the Frank O'Connor International Story Award and the V. S. Pritchett Prize. The collection features a demon sheep, strange curates, acts of rebellion and acts of violence. There is love made and love ruined, parents lost and children found. A girl's controlling step-father gets more than he bargained for while out on a picnic. A troubled man finds comfort in the poetry of Emily Bront during his wife's illness. A woman stumbles across a French officer while out walking and returns home with a secret. A percentage of the profits from sales of the book will be donated to The Bront Birthplace Trust to help with their plans for Thornton, Bradford - the village where all three sisters were born.
