After the loss of her mother, a woman returns to the San Fernando Valley only to uncover a haunting secret about her childhood friend.
A visiting professor at a charming but strange California liberal arts college must face her past in order to protect her son.
A sister, lost in the woods, confronts the dangerous truth about her brother, her stepmother, and herself.
Rose's dog Wolfie has died, and three seductive women offer to help return him to her. But only if she will pay the price.
Mira, distraught and ill after the death of her husband, Richard, wanders out into a weird new world to battle the monsters of her grief.
And Mim must disguise herself in order to infiltrate an LA sex trafficking ring and rescue her daughter.
Francesca Lia Block, known for her own brand of Southern California magical realism, brings the darkest of traditional fairy tales to life in a contemporary way that speaks to universal themes and the very specific challenges of our times, as her heroines fight ogres, witches, and demons in order to save their loved ones and, ultimately, themselves.

The gorgeous writing and sensuous descriptions are only one small part of what makes The Lost Children such an exceptional collection. This is storytelling at its best, where each tale is packed with suspense as we listen intently to determine exactly what happened to Tamara when she was young? What’s the deal with Warren Barber? And then there’s the beauty and cruelty cooked into the Hansel and Gretel-like title story, The Lost Children, where a starving young brother and sister struggle to survive their twisted stepmother. (At one point, step-by-step instructions on how to kill a rabbit with a broom are provided.)
Lauren Singerman’s narration is full of emotion, flawless accents and inflections of voice that bring every character—real or supernatural—to life. The placid indifference of the water nixie’s voice couldn’t be more different than the Eastern European accent narrator of The Lost Children.
“Chicken bone wrists,” “turtle dove eyes,” “purpling sidewalks of Jacaranda wine,” and “the fur of smog over Burbank Airport.” These are just a few of the gems that await you in The Lost Children. Although I was sad when I’d finished it, these stories will stay with me for a long time. In fact, if I had to describe this collection in one word, it would be memorable.
