Lulu quote:

Have you ever looked at your favourite pastel pony and thought “Sure, but what if she were sadder? What if there was trauma and heartbreak and maybe a little murder?”

In this brand new anthology are the best of Shaslan’s published short stories.

Within these covers you will find Fluttershy trapped in a world that is just a little too perfect, the monster that lives in Diamond Tiara’s closet, Principal Celestia struggling with the realisation that she is only a pale shadow of the goddess in the other world, Cheerilee trying to protect her students in a bunker deep below the ravaged surface of Equus, and the flower ponies taking a leaf or two from the venus flytrap playbook.

If you like dark fantasy, dark scifi, and explorations of what good ponies will do in bad situations, this might just be the book for you.
