A reissue of Earth Angel, the debut collection by Madeline Cash author of Lost LambsIn this reissue of her debut collection, Madeline Cash, the author of Lost Lambs, skewers our late-stage-Capitalist reality into a strange, but ultimately life-affirming collage of stories. Life is absurd, so is Earth Angel. A biblical plague rains sentient frogs, a childless millennial throws a slumber party, a young couple try experimental drugs to reignite their relationship. Tales of rebellious school girls and apocalypse-fearing marketing executives. Blending reverence and ridicule, the stories that make up Earth Angel are bizarre, playful, inextricably linked, hyper-modern yet timeless. What shines through is Cash's undeniable affection for the denizens of this strange and surreal world - a place that is at times dark, but not without hope for the future.

In her electric debut, Madeline Cash synthesizes the godlessness of a digital age into a glimmering, sublime, life-affirming collage of stories.Earth Angel is a book like no other, the paperback that swallowed the smartphone. An Isis recruit, an adolescent beauty queen, and a childless millennial walk into a bar. A Biblical plague rains down head lice, aerial drone strikes, gender non-conforming frogs. An app throws a slumber party for a friendless office worker. Texans in the winter, the Taliban in Springtime, Teslas with ℮☥ bumper stickers, Frozen 5 in Arabic, architectural consistency laws in Laurel Canyon, the longest recorded nosebleed in history.An unhinged jet stream that is ultramodern and poignantly timeless, capturing the angst of the post-millennial generation.
