“With its humorous, slice-of-life portrayal of rural Texas and sweet sapphic romance, [The Barefoot Followers of Sweet Potato Grace] is sure to charm.“

—Publishers Weekly

Tombstone, Texas, has never seen anything like the barefoot travelers who barrel in one afternoon, looking like they just stepped out of the seventies. They appear right in the middle of Pinky Elizabeth Swear’s eulogy for her beloved rescue cat, Sweet Potato Grace (may she rest in eternal peace and abundance of goat cheese). To be honest, Pinky is relieved at the interruption. She’d planned to use the second half of her eulogy to come out of the closet. Now, she doesn’t have to.

Are the newcomers a circus troupe? Revolutionaries? A sinister cult? While the town grows suspicious and rumor mills churn, Pinky finds herself drawn to the charisma of the barefoot strangers. Perhaps, she starts to think, the wrath of Tombstone is a thing worth risking in order to be true to oneself.

“Poetic, twisted, brilliant.”

—Melanie Finn, author of The Hare

Orrie and Emma’s family has been cursed for centuries, and as the siblings approach adulthood, the curse is starting to rear its head once again. Their father, Aggie, returns from war a stranger. His arrival shatters the fragile semblance of normality the family has cultivated in his absence. One by one, sordid secrets claw their way to the surface, exposing the rot underneath.

It’s not long before the deaths begin–and the voices in the walls grow louder.

This contemporary retelling of Aeschylus’s Oresteia, set in the American heartland, takes an unflinching look at how foreign war scars the intimate landscape of home–not just in the days of ancient Greek tragedy but in every time and place.

Everyone is familiar with the tale: a man marries a woman, and she transforms into a crane. Or a seal. Or a bear. Or a woman marries a beast, who transforms into a man; or a man who transforms into a beast. Tales of shapeshifting animal spouses have long been a staple of folklore around the world.

In this collection, fantasy and fairy tale scholar Jennifer Pullen selects fourteen classic tales that explore the boundary between the human and the beastly, showing how their telling and retelling reflects a constant longing for–and terror of–what seems to be “other.”
