American Book Awardwinning author Tananarive Dues second collection of stories includes offerings of horror, science fiction, and suspenseall genres she wields masterfully. From the mysterious, magical town of Gracetown to the aftermath of a pandemic to the reaches of the far future, Dues stories all share a sense of dread and fear balanced with heart and hope.
In some of these stories, the monster is racism itself; others address the monster within, each set against the supernatural or surreal. All are written with Dues trademark attention to detail and deeply drawn characters.
In addition to previously published work, this collection contains brand-new stories, including Rumpus Room, a supernatural horror novelette set in Florida about a womans struggle against both outer and inner demons.
