嘴唇是血红色，太阳是前所未囿的橙色，火车轮子听起来就像“guilt，guilt，guilt”：这些只是Mary Ventura在她去往第九王国的旅途上开始注意到的一些事情。

“可是，第九王国是什么地方呢”她问一位和她坐在同一车厢，看起来慈眉善目的老太太。“它是一个思想被封印的王国”，老太太回答道。“去了就回不来了。”

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

Lips the colour of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like 'guilt, and guilt, and guilt': these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom.

'But what is the ninth kingdom?' she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. 'It is the kingdom of the frozen will,' comes the reply. 'There is no going back.'

Sylvia Plath's strange, dark tale of independence over infanticide, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.

Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
