- These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy’s summerromance doesn’t end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in blood. A girlon a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods who’s exactly what sheneeds, except then that friend follows her back to the city. A father hears avoice through his baby monitor that shouldn’t be possible, but now hecan’t stop listening. A woman finds out that the shipwreck wasn’tthe disaster, but who she’s shipwrecked with. A big brother learns justwhat he will, and won’t, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guardsmaking unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out justice,these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into our most base fears andcertainties, and there’s no anesthetic. Turn the light on if you want, butthat just makes for more shadows.
