Jessie Burton</b><br><br><b><i>Madame Zero</i> </b>is a remarkable collection of dark, sensuous stories set in sometimes conflicting landscapes – rural, industrial, psychological – all of which are hauntingly resonant with dread. Whether set in an apocalyptic storm, a local swimming pool, or a surgical theatre, <b>Sarah Hall’s</b> celebrated stories inhabit a hinterland between the natural and urban, the mundane and surreal, human and animal.</p>
