• DESCRIPTION •
Fantastical and fantastically true, Jen Gann’s stories dive into the animals in all of us: the ghost horses, the roasted bees, the washed ashore tigers, the gorillas chained to the mayor’s statue, underbiters and flower-scalped and gym bombers and mothers and children and slot machines you can trick by sticking a cookie in. When Back Tuck mewls from the bottom of the hill, it mewls of everything we tried to push down.

• REVIEWS •
"Brilliant little fantastical stories that read like fables with a kick, a violent twist, a frenetic yet measured feeling that sends you loving her characters then dreading what will happen to them." — Amber Sparks at Vouched
"The power of Gann's story is not just that it evokes a great deal of compassion for these rejected characters, but also that it confronts, yet again, the notion of what is "normal."" — Leila Emery at Lines and Stars
