Stuffed Animals

Book excerpt: Stuffed Animals is a collection of haunting, sparsely wrought micro fiction. Each story invites the reader in and then delights and torments them with surprises and plot twists. Whether you are in the mood for black humour, spine-tingling horror, or soul-wrenching tragedy, you will find it within these pages. While the stories explore a wide range of themes and genres, they share an interest in word play and conceptual games. With complex imagination, compelling characters, and gripping storylines, Stuffed Animals asks the reader to sit down, dig in, and not let go. It captures an unsettling balance of beauty and repulsion, the writing versing more as artistic expression than conventional storytelling.
