- Book Synopsis
- A group of tugboat passengers grapples with a disturbing loss. A record-holding hiccuper confronts his condition-and a troubling secret. A wife wonders what to do when her husband's head stops working-but his body stays alive. A man struggles with the memory of the time he saw his friend swallowed whole by a neighborhood girl with supernatural powers. In this classic set of Midwestern Gothic stories by Darrin Doyle, we see the strange hold hands with the familiar-and seem all the more strange as a result. A set of tall tales (and medium-height ones) told with Nabokovian prose, this stunning and visceral collection by the author of The Beast in Aisle 34 will linger long after the last page. Originally published in 2015, this revised tenth anniversary edition features a new introduction by American Mythology author Giano Cromley.
- About The Author
- Darrin Doyle has lived in Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Osaka, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Manhattan (Kansas, not the other one). At long last, he has settled in Mount Pleasant, MI, where he teaches at Central Michigan University. He is pretty sure Bigfoot exists but has no evidence. He likes to play a variety of musical instruments, mostly stringed ones. He searches for food that is too spicy. His short stories have appeared in Puerto del Sol, The Long Story, Cottonwood, Alaska Quarterly Review, Night Train, Harpur Palate, Laurel Review, The MacGuffin, and other journals. He has received fellowships and scholarships from the Sewanee Writers Conference and the NY Summer Writers Institute. Please visit Darrin at darrindoyle.com
