“Rachel Sherman writes stories like splinters: they get under your skin and stay with you long after you’ve closed the book. These haunting stories are both wonderfully, deeply weird and unsettlingly familiar.”—Judy Budnitz
Karen Russell, a native of Miami, has been featured in both The New Yorker’s debut fiction issue and in New York magazine as one of the twenty-five people to watch under the age of twenty-five. She is a graduate of the Columbia MFA program and is the 2005 recipient of the Transatlantic Review/Henfield Foundation Award, and her fiction recently appeared in Conjunctions and Granta. She currently lives in New York City. She is twenty-four years old. She reads from her collection: St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves.
“This book is a miracle. Karen Russell is a literary mystic, channeling spectral tales that surge with feeling. A devastatingly beautiful debut by a powerful new writer.” –Ben Marcus
