'Unsettling, uncanny, and utterly delightful debut.' Publisher's Weekly 'Armfield’s collection is exemplary as she pushes the limits of reality into beautifully eerie and unsettling worlds' Booklist
'A haunting and deliciously unsettling debut' Attitude Magazine "Quiet, meticulously crafted collection that's a sign of even greater writing to come." Buzzfeed 'Delightful and discomfiting’ The New Yorker Blending the mythic and the fantastic, the collection considers characters in motion – turning away, turning back or simply turning into something new. The mundane worlds of cinemas, schools and university towns are invaded and transformed by the physical, creating a landscape which is constantly shifting to hold onto the bodies of its inhabitants. Throughout the collection, girls become insects, men turn to stone and bodies are picked apart to make up better ones. Salt Slow is a collection of stories about bodies and the bodily, mapping the skin and bones of its characters through their experiences of isolation, obsession and love.
