Description
Thirteen new stories from Ben Marcus explore moments of redemption in a world that can sometimes feel nightmarish. In "The Grow-Light Blues," a man finds love after being disfigured by his employer's nutrition supplement. In "Cold Little Bird," a father becomes increasingly alienated from his family as he suspects his son's precocity has turned sinister.
Other stories, such as "The Boys" and "Blueprints for St. Louis," delve into complex relationships and the ethics of manipulating human emotions. Through these narratives, Marcus reveals the intricacies of modern life and the ways in which we seek connection and meaning.
