Anne Hathaway—contented wife of a glovemaker and aletaster, proud mother of three—has her life turned upside down when strangers, oddly familiar, come to her door and whisk her husband away. What is their business, this terrible danger they say we all face? What is the lattice, and what part must her Will play to save it?

Monstrous Little Voices is a collection of five short novellas, a single long tale set in Shakespeare's fantasy world of fairies, wizards and potions, in honour of the four-hundredth anniversary of the Bard's death.
