This program features multicast narration.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes Januaries, a stunning collection of short fiction featuring fourteen magical ruminations on life, death, and
the love—or desire for revenge—that outlasts both
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, a wish-granting spirit rapidly approaches burnout. Meanwhile, a banished fairy answers a Craigslist ad, a Victorian orphan navigates an occult situationship, and a multiverse assassin contemplates the one who got away.
With both iconic fan-favorite stories and entirely original pieces, Januaries features modified fairy tales, contemporary heists, absurdist poetry, and at least one set of actual wedding vows. Escape the slow trudge of mortality by diving into these enchanting new worlds with a master of imagination.

      Starred review from October 14, 2024
      The 14 tales in this dreamy collection from bestseller Blake (The Atlas Six) showcase the distinctive style, big ideas, and slippery worldbuilding that have earned the author her large fan base. “The Wish Bridge” follows star-crossed lovers, one of whom is always confined to a bridge that only appears on the full moon, granting wishes and telling truths to those that seek to cross. “Chaos Theory,” the volume’s longest entry, spans multiple universes and involves assassinations, coups, secret love affairs, and a cat’s intrinsic hatred for birds. Though some individual stories are less straightforwardly exciting, such as “Monsterlove,” a surreal meditation on the complexity of motherhood through the lens of a shape-shifting monster-mother, the collection as a whole is a propulsive delight. By turns hopeful, sarcastic, silly, heartbreaking, deadpan, and ornate, these tales have something for everyone, whether they’re already familiar with Blake’s singular style or not. It’s a treasure trove for adults who never stopped loving fairy tales and campfire stories. Agent: Amelia Appel, Triada US.
