The Stone Wētā 22 Apr, 2020

by Octavia Cade

( 7 )

₹ 296.00

“We talk about the tyranny of distance a lot in this country.
That distance will not save us.”

With governments denying climate science, scientists from affected countries and organisations are forced to traffic data to ensure the preservation of research that could in turn preserve the world. From Antarctica, to the Chihuahuan Desert, to the International Space Station, a fragile network forms. A web of knowledge. Secret. But not secret enough.

When the cold war of data preservation turns bloody – and then explosive – an underground network of scientists, all working in isolation, must decide how much they are willing to risk for the truth. For themselves, their colleagues, and their future.

Murder on Antarctic ice. A university lecturer’s car, found abandoned on a desert road. And the first crewed mission to colonise Mars, isolated and vulnerable in the depths of space.

How far would you go to save the world?

by Octavia Cade , Crista Kempton

₹ 423.00

All our monsters are mirrors. And when Mary Shelley’s monster—built from her life rather than her pen, born out of biography instead of blood—outlives its mother, that monster goes looking for a substitute. But all the monster really knows of women is that women write, and so the search for a replacement takes it first to Katherine Mansfield, and then to other women who know what mutilated things can be made from ink and mirrors….

Food and Horror: Essays on Ravenous Souls, Toothsome Monsters, and Vicious Cravings 10 Feb, 2019

by Octavia Cade

₹ 356.00

Hansel and Gretel. Turkish Delight. Viscous blood and meaty gristle. From the rituals that surround mealtime to the culture-spanning tales of insatiably hungry monsters, food is often used as both tool and metaphor in speculative fiction. In this collection of fifteen essays, the intersection of food and horror is explored in bone-crunching, marrow-slurping detail.

This is the expanded edition of the collection of essays that first appeared on The Book Smugglers, now with extra material! The original essays won the Sir Julius Vogel Award for fan writing in 2017.

The Convergence of Fairy Tales 9 Feb, 2019

by Octavia Cade

₹ 213.00

The Sleeping Beauty woke with a heartbeat between her legs.

Five classic fairy tales. Five different accounts of betrayal, of power, and rage. Sleeping Beauty. The Snow Queen. Snow White. The Frog Princess. Rapunzel. All are facets of the same person, and that person wakes, as the original Sleeping Beauty does, with a baby sucking the needle from her finger. This story explores how the princesses deal with their rape and forced motherhood, and how – within the confines of their own stories, aided by poison apples and mirror fragments, by long hair and glass coffins and golden balls – they wreak their bloody vengeance.

Winner of the 2017 Sir Julius Vogel Award for best novelette/novella.

Ecological Entanglements in the Anthropocene: Working with Nature (Ecocritical Theory and Practice) 21 Dec, 2016

by Nicholas Holm , Sy Taffel , Octavia Cade , Sean Cubitt , Charles Dawson , Victoria Grieves , James Holcombe , Ann O’Brien , Christopher Orchard , David Orchard , Peter Orchard , Jacob Otter , Gareth Stanton , Sharon Stevens , Sita Venkateswar

₹ 7,400.70

This edited collection explores the relationships between humans and nature at a time when the traditional sense of separation between human cultures and a natural wilderness is being eroded. The ‘Anthropocene,’ whose literal translation is the ‘Age of Man,’ is one way of marking these planetary changes to the Earth system. Global climate change and rising sea levels are two prominent examples of how nature can no longer be simply thought of as something outside and removed from humans (and vice versa).

This collection applies the concepts of ecology and entanglement to address pressing political, social, and cultural issues surrounding human relationships with the nonhuman world in terms of ‘working with nature.’ It asks, are there more or less preferable ways of working with nature? What forms and practices might this work take and how do we distinguish between them? Is the idea of ‘nature’ even sufficient to approach such questions, or do we need to reconsider using the term nature in favour of terms such as environments, ecologies or the broad notion of the non-human world? How might we forge perspectives and enact practices which build resilience and community across species and spaces, constructing relationships with nonhumans which go beyond discourses of pollution, degradation and destruction? Bringing together a range of contributors from across multiple academic disciplines, activists and artists, this book examines how these questions might help us understand and assess the different ways in which humans transform, engage and interact with the nonhuman world.

₹ 211.00

Octavia Cade weaves together time and memory, physics and mystery, in this story inspired by Ernest Rutherford’s life and research.

1886. Two young boys disappear in the Sounds. Their mother grieves, all the music cut out of her heart; their father wanders the coast for a year, wanting and not wanting to find any part of them left behind. And their brother Ern, faced with a problem to which no solution can be found, returns to his laboratory – and to the smell of salt, soft voices in his ear, wet footprints welling seawater in the darkness.

The August Birds 9 Jul, 2015

by Octavia Cade

( 3 )

₹ 77.88

August is nine years old, and dreams of becoming a scientist. This is a dream that will never come true, because August is dying. The only dream that's left to him now is that of reaching his tenth birthday, on the last day of the month he was named after.

Yet on the eve of that month, August gets two surprise visitors: time-travelling ravens Muninn and Huginn, come out of Norse mythology to bring him the science that he loves. On each of the final days of August, the birds take him back through time to an event in science that happened on that day - the writing of the Einstein-Szilard letter; the discovery of the first Neanderthal grave; helium and Hiroshima and hot air balloons...

August comes to understand that these trips into science aren't simple kindnesses. They're ways for him to come to terms with his own death, to make peace with his mortality. And, if Muninn has her way, they'll give him a chance to cheat death after all...
