Fly on the Wall Press signs Rosie Garland's 'electrifying' short story collection

Fly on the Wall Press has signed Your Sons and Daughters are Beyond, a "genre-bending" short story collection, from Rosie Garland. 

Managing director Isabelle Kenyon acquired world rights directly from the author. The book will be published in January 2025. 

In the first story in the collection, teenagers across the world begin to grow fur, fangs and develop strange powers as the protagonist helplessly watches his children change form. Garland said the collection explores themes "as diverse as rebellion against imposed norms, family relationships, queerness, loss and recovery… through the lens of animals, Egyptian mummies, knitting patterns and runaway stars". 

Kenyon commented: “We are very happy to be publishing this collection which delves deep into themes of otherness and rebellion. Rosie Garland’s poetic voice and genre-bending imagination are electrifying.”
