Váried Parályses

A chapbook of short stories. Eight pieces that might be claustrophobic, or semi-hinged, or regretful, or vengeful, or sardonic, or evil.

☞ A drunkard commits armed robbery, armed with a venomous snake.
☞ An ecological event endangers a boy’s health; his mother is panicky, his father eerily unconcerned.
☞ A dying woman faces an impossible compromise.
☞ An ageing superhero worries for a future world she won’t be there to pacify.
☞ And more.

These stories were previously published in JMWW, The Denver Quarterly, Litro US Online, and elsewhere. They are collected here for the first time.
