- Synopsis
- Brilliantly inventive speculative stories that offer “highly original riffs on everything from superhero to zombie fiction” (Toronto Star). A guilt-ridden nurse atones for her sins by joining her zombified patients in exile. A lone soldier stands guard on a desolate Arctic island against an invasion that may be all in his mind. A folk singer tries to unionize Hell. In these strange, funny short stories, you will journey to places beyond your imagination: from a resettlement center for refugees from ancient Rome, to a lost country recreated by its last citizen on the Internet, to a restaurant where the owner’s ghost lingers for one final party. Discover the secret connection between Mark Twain and Frankenstein, and the magic power of blackberry jam—all in this debut collection by an author whose work has been nominated for the Sidewise Award and Pushcart Prize. “Readers interested in modern speculative fiction would be strongly recommended to make this their next choice.” —Publishers Weekly
