A masterful debut about the terrifying thrills of innocence from a voice of experience.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nTeenagers sneak out to the creek for a wild New Year's Eve party. A sleep-deprived woman who imagines she is pregnant to a Viking faces her scathing sixteen-year-old self. A woman in love wakes up in a van Gogh painting.\n\nThese gem-like stories are about the desire to rush out and meet life; about getting in over your head; about danger, and damage, and what it means to survive – and not always survive – the risk of being young. They chart the borderlands between girls and women, daughters and mothers, freedom and fear.\n\nEmerging fully-formed and singing songs of both innocence and experience, Anne Casey-Hardy is the rarest of new voices: at the same time reckless and entirely in control; funny and frightening; wise and full-blooded.\n\n\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eCautionary Tales for Excitable Girls\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n‘I find myself haunted by this innocent, menacing, blackly funny and fabulous book.
