The quick pitch? Well, here’s the blip from Publisher’s Marketplace:Īuthor of the forthcoming THE GROWER, Alison Stine's TRASHLANDS, a novel where, at a strip club at the end of the world, a single mother has to choose between love and survival in the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become after climate change floods re-draw the coasts of America, pitched as an Appalachian THE CHILDREN OF MEN, to Margot Mallinson at Mira, by Eric Smith at P.S. A novel of beauty and horror, violence and innocence loss, it’s yet another almost indescribable work, and I just cannot wait for readers to get their hands on it. The first few chapters of Trashlands left me gasping. The Grower publishes next year with Mira, and I’m so thrilled to announce that her second novel, TRASHLANDS, will be publishing with Mira in 2021. She pens stories that weave in the speculative and the terrifying, in order to deliver powerful messages about poverty, climate change, and how the way we treat each other is just as important as the way we treat the world around us. Describing Alison Stine’s harrowing literary fiction is a challenge.
