Absurdity in a digitally unsettled world

Earth Angel: Stories gathers linked tales that place contemporary anxieties beside surreal disruptions: schoolgirls rebel, marketing executives fear the apocalypse, and a biblical plague brings sapient frogs. Other stories turn to intimacy and family life, including a childless millennial’s slumber party and a couple experimenting with drugs to rekindle their relationship. Across these varied situations, the collection pairs irreverence with moments of reverence, framing a strange modern world as dark but still open to hope.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in linked short-story collections
  • Those drawn to surreal, comic treatments of contemporary life
  • Readers curious about stories touching on relationships, family, and digital-age anxieties

Book overview

In this expanded reissue of her electric debut collection, Madeline Cash, the author of the international bestseller Lost Lambs, synthesizes the godlessness of a digital age into a glimmering, life-affirming collage of stories.

Life is absurd; so is Earth Angel.

Tales of rebellious schoolgirls and apocalypse-fearing marketing executives. A biblical plague that rains sapient frogs. A childless millennial throwing a slumber party. A young couple trying experimental drugs to
reignite their relationship.

Blending reverence and ridicule, the stories that make up Earth Angel are bizarre, playful, inextricably linked, hyper-modern yet timeless. What shines through is Madeline Cash's undeniable affection for the denizens of this strange and surreal world--a place that is at times dark, but not without hope for the future.
