Overview

When Sofie is a small girl, her Nanny teaches her nightmares. Witches, werewolves, the Black Death... Sofie is raised, screaming, on a surfeit of monsters. But when the monsters become real, brought to life and tumbled together into her own shadow-self, Sofie is forced to accept that she, with her unnatural precocity in mathematics, is a monster as well.

Part biography, part fantasy, this novella of maths and magical realism and monstrosity tells the story of the Russian mathematician Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891).

About the Author

My name’s Octavia Cade. I have a PhD in science communication, and I’m currently researching seagrass restoration, focusing on the New Zealand species Zostera muelleri.

I’m also a writer – you can read my stories at Strange Horizons, Cosmos, and a number of other places. I mostly write short speculative fiction.

I also do a lot of tramping, and most of the time I manage not to injure myself. My dream is to one day complete Te Araroa, a walking trail that goes the entire length of NZ. I’ve done bits and pieces of it, and it’ll probably take me another ten years, but one day – one day dammit! – I will finish the thing.
