Publisher's Synopsis
32 ingenious and darkly humorous short stories from the author of Thread, ranging from the sprightly opening fable, to imaginative tales of absurdity, madness, and folly. Amidst decapitations, murderous mountaineers, suicides, and lost souls we are introduced to Bloomberg the French-speaking cat, a so-called Wire-lender, and a girl who disappears into the sky. Included in the collection is The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm, previously published by Sentinel, and a prize-winning six word story called To Ernest.
