It's the shiny happy 80s in Los Angeles, but Vida's mood couldn't be blacker. Never mind her writer's block, recent suicide attempt or the painful scrutiny of her colleagues, there's drinking to be done! When a cut-rate psychic releases a recurring nightmare, Vida decides it's time for a Vegas road trip. May the gods help anyone in her path...

First written in 1991, this novel captures the early voice of a writer who would go on to compose more self-assured books, but this early work retains a rough charm that only youth can claim.

“Laity is a very remarkable sorceress indeed.”
~ Elizabeth Hand

“Laity knocks your socks off with the language and also with the dialog.”
~ Les Edgerton

“Laity is probably a figment of her own imagination, and what an imagination that is! A witty and inventive wordsmith. A natural storyteller. A one off!”
~ Paul D. Brazill

“Laity mixes genres in ways that are always rewarding… a compelling writer who is utterly readable.”
~ Richard Godwin

“Kate’s work is always measured and elegant and is frequently very, very funny and her sense of humour runs pleasingly dark.”
~ Alasdair Stuart
