Angela Slatter

She has come to be known for penning stories that are spinoffs of traditional tales in the mold of Angela Carter. Her works range from single-standing novels, series, collections of short fiction, novellas, and contributions to series by other authors. When she got older, she started reading for herself, adding in religion, folk tales, history, and mythology, as she gathered a treasure chest of information.

The best place to start is the Twelve Planets series, the earliest of Angela Slatter's multi-book series: it opens with Nightsiders (2011) and runs to 12 books across 2011–2015, ending with Cherry Crow Children (2015). Angela Slatter's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
