Like the first novella in her Danielle Cain series, The Lamb Will Slaughter The Lion, Margaret Killjoy’s The Barrow Will Send What It May (paperback, Kindle) is yet another punk fantasy that skirts the edges of horror and, in doing so, takes influence from those most horrible of punks: Scooby, Shaggy, and the rest of those meddling kids on Scooby-Doo.
When promoting a novel, publishers sometimes describe them in ways that don’t align with how the author sees their story.
But while writer Margaret Killjoy fully embraces how Tor called her new novella The Lamb Will Slaughter The Lion (paperback, digital) a “punk fantasy,” she explains that it’s not “punk” as in the aesthetic but “punk” as in the value.
