Abstract
This manuscript is a collection of short fiction. The stories explore how power functions in intimate relationships, and in particular the effects of power structures on women. The stories take from fairy tale, gothic fiction and modernism. Aesthetically, they consider how structure, assemblage, and sequence affects the psychological experience of reading and knowing.
