Spinner of Darkness & Other Tales

Book — Collection of Short Stories — Women in Translation

Intan Paramaditha’s stories are infused with gothic and horror themes. Depicted with a feminine sensibility, the majority of her protagonists are femme fatales or madwomen in the attic who do not fit the social order. Her stories contain twists that both delight and disturb.
