Reconstruction: Stories

An immersive, rich collection from an author whose work reaches across time and continents to explore unexpected and untold stories

In Reconstruction, award-winning writer and musician Alaya Dawn Johnson digs into the lives of those trodden underfoot by the powers that be: from the lives of vampires and those caught in their circle in Hawai'i to a taxonomy of anger put together by Union soldiers in the American Civil War. These stories will grab you and not let you go.

‘Unified by Johnson’s sensuous prose, these stories will delight existing fans and serve as an excellent introduction for those new to Johnson’s work.’ - Publishers Weekly
