Earth Angel

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.

Madeline Cash is the author of the story collection Earth Angel and the novel Lost Lambs. Her work has been published in The Paris Review online, Granta, BOMB, and elsewhere. Her books have been translated into over twenty languages.
