La Belle Fleur Sauvage

La Belle Fleur Sauvage Plague of the Womb

Twenty-six years after murderous parasites invaded fertile women's wombs and laid the world waste, 11 linked vignettes chart a New York wracked with oracles and statistical prophets, where hysterectomies are mandated and Carnival parades for the saint of miscarriage throw "carriers of contagion" and "would-be breeders" into the sea. Amid the ruins, the protagonists grapple with the past and learn to survive what remains."Kiernan (Black Helicopters) turns her virtuosic prose toward disaster, myth, and survival in this standalone postapocalyptic novella ... finely wrought, and vital." - from Publishers Weekly Starred Review of La Belle Fleur Sauvage by Caitlín R. Kiernan
