Description: Santa Fe, NM : Santa Fe Writers Project, [2021] | Summary:
“From A.A. Balaskovits, author of Magic for Unlucky Girls, this new
collection of unusual, fabulist fiction leads you down strange paths for
dark encounters with familiar fairy tales, odd people from history, and
weirdos who may be living right next door. Among the characters in these
bizarre stories, a starving beauty finds a beast who can save her
village, a man eats everything in sight but is never full, a woman gives
birth to bloody animal parts, and a daughter is forced to dance every
night to the reenactment of her fathers’ murder. These tales invite you
to spend time with people who, in the maddest of circumstances, chew
their way forward. With elements of psychological horror, sly humor, and
the fantastic, these stories will burrow under your skin, haunt your
dreams, and make you wonder what worlds lie just beyond that tiny hole
in the wall”—Provided by publisher.
