{"product_id":"earth-angel-9781837320776","title":"Earth Angel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA reissue of Earth Angel, the debut collection by Madeline Cash author of Lost Lambs  In this reissue of her debut collection, Madeline Cash, the author of Lost Lambs, skewers our late-stage-Capitalist reality into a strange, but ultimately life-affirming collage of stories.   Life is absurd, so is Earth Angel.    A biblical plague rains sentient frogs, a childless millennial throws a slumber party, a young couple try experimental drugs to reignite their relationship. Tales of rebellious school girls and apocalypse-fearing marketing executives.    Blending reverence and ridicule, the stories that make up Earth Angel are bizarre, playful, inextricably linked, hyper-modern yet timeless. What shines through is Cash's undeniable affection for the denizens of this strange and surreal world - a place that is at times dark, but not without hope for the future.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781837320776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 22 Sep 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 19.8(H)x12.7(L)x1.2(W)132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 132\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eMadeline Cash is the founder of Forever Magazine and the author of the story collection Earth Angel.
