Icy Sedgwick was born in the North East of England, and lives and works in Newcastle, where she teaches graphic design and illustration.

She spends her non-writing time working on a PhD in Film Studies, considering the use of set design in contemporary horror.

Icy is also a secret evil genius who enjoys good chocolate cake.

These fifteen tales of the weird and wonderful are collected together for the first time, spanning fantasy, horror, sci fi and speculative fiction. Harbingers is a veritable Cabinet of Curiosities for fans of weird tales! If you enjoy the writing of Neil Gaiman or Ray Bradbury, then you might just see the wonder by strolling through these dark shadows.

In the title story, 'Harbingers', portentous visitors try to warn a young woman who fails to grasp their importance; a washed-up actress seeks to prolong her pact with a Greek goddess in a hotel bathroom; a porcelain woman awaits the return of her maker on a lonely rooftop; and a Resurrection man rethinks his career choices in Victorian London.

Harbingers also includes the pulp adventure tale, One Woman Cure, and a Grey O'Donnell ghost story, A Christmas Ghost Story in the West. You can also get a complimentary copy when you sign up to my mailing list at eepurl.com/ftkoE.
