Rachel Ingalls was born in Boston in 1940. She spent time in Germany before studying at Radcliffe College, and moved to England in 1965, where she lived for the rest of her life. Her debut novel, Theft (1970), won the Authors' Club First Novel Award, and her novella Mrs Caliban (1982) was named one of the 20 best American novels since World War Two by the British Book Marketing Council. Over half a century, Ingalls wrote 11 story collections and novellas - all published by Faber - to great acclaim, but remains relatively unknown. She died in 2019 after a revival of interest in her work.
After a one-night-stand with the Angel Gabriel, a monk is transformed into a pregnant woman.
Lost in the fog, two visitors are lured into a ruined candlelit mansion.
A wife confiscates her husband's homemade sex doll, only to demand her own.
Great-aunts warn of the deadly skin of the pearlkillers.
Rachel Ingalls' incomparable novellas are masterpieces: surrealist, subversive, tragicomic. Prepare to meet what lurks beneath.
