From the author of the New York Times best seller Swamplandia!â"a finalist for the Pulitzer Prizeâ"a magical new collection of stories that showcases Karen Russellâs gifts at their inimitable best. A dejected teenager discovers that the universe is communicating with him through talismanic objects left behind in a seagullâs nest. A community of girls held captive in a silk factory slowly transmute into human silkworms, spinning delicate threads from their own bellies, and escape by seizing the means of production for their own revolutionary ends. A massage therapist discovers she has the power to heal by manipulating the tattoos on a war veteranâs lower torso. When a group of boys stumble upon a mutilated scarecrow bearing an uncanny resemblance to the missing classmate they used to torment, an ordinary tale of high school bullying becomes a sinister fantasy of guilt and atonement. In a familyâs disastrous quest for land in the American West, the monster is the human hunger for acquisition, and the victim is all we hold dear. And in the collectionâs marvelous title storyâ"an unforgettable parable of addiction and appetite, mortal terror and mortal loveâ"two vampires in a sun-drenched lemon grove try helplessly to slake their thirst for blood. Karen Russell is one of todayâs most celebrated and vital writersâ"honored in The New Yorkerâs list of the twenty best writers under the age of forty, Grantaâs Best of Young American Novelists, and the National Book Foundationâs five best writers under the age of thirty-five.
