Puget Sound: 15 Stories

$14.00

Fiction. This is a runaway train of stories set in the Pacific Northwest, images and people who call that area their home, some stories bordering on the surreal and some so real you can smell the tidewater of Puget Sound.

Four of the fifteen stories were finalists in the Ray Bradbury Short Fiction Fellowship.

“These stories,” Flux Magazine writes, “burn with an atmosphere of subtle intensity that keeps you wanting more.”

Description

Fiction. Cows falling from the sky, whales exploding, magical shaman masks, boys becoming sasquatches, an earthquake shaking the Space Needle, the myth of the gun that Kurt Cobain killed himself with, and an albino man-child who could be the next coming are just some of the images in these wild and imaginary stories, all of which take place in the gray and watery arabesque of the Pacific Northwest known as Puget Sound.
