![]() ![]() I need the finished book in my hands, right now, printed and on my bookshelf.Ĭongrats on another amazing accomplishment Alison! You can follow Alison on Twitter here, and send her all the congrats. The quick pitch? Well, here’s the blip from Publisher’s Marketplace:Īuthor of the forthcoming THE GROWER, Alison Stine's TRASHLANDS, a novel where, at a strip club at the end of the world, a single mother has to choose between love and survival in the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become after climate change floods re-draw the coasts of America, pitched as an Appalachian THE CHILDREN OF MEN, to Margot Mallinson at Mira, by Eric Smith at P.S. A novel of beauty and horror, violence and innocence loss, it’s yet another almost indescribable work, and I just cannot wait for readers to get their hands on it. The first few chapters of Trashlands left me gasping. ![]() Shes stuck in Trashlands, a dump named for the strip club at its edge, where the local women dance for an endless loop of strangers and the clubs violent owner rules as unofficial mayor. The Grower publishes next year with Mira, and I’m so thrilled to announce that her second novel, TRASHLANDS, will be publishing with Mira in 2021. In the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become, Coral is a 'plucker,' pulling plastic from the rivers and woods. ![]() ![]() She pens stories that weave in the speculative and the terrifying, in order to deliver powerful messages about poverty, climate change, and how the way we treat each other is just as important as the way we treat the world around us. Describing Alison Stine’s harrowing literary fiction is a challenge. ![]()
