Every once in a while a short story collection bursts onto the scene, which, let's face it, can make one helluva mess! What lives within these pages is no less than a genuine madhouse troupe of 87 of the most off-kilter, puzzling and all-out striking narratives you're likely to come across this or any year. Funny, frightening and fascinating in equal parts, these mini stories range in length from 30-second to ten-minute reads. Deliciously nuanced and featuring a sumptuous smorgasbord of compelling characters, psychological thrills and existential truths (what the heck?), you'll need to save room for a decadent dessert of unanticipated plot twists as well. A collection you will not be able to put down...on the bottom tier of your low-to-the ground and awkwardly positioned bookshelf.
