Infos

The stories in this collection are rich, tangled, and suffused with mystery and wonder. Over a city forever altered by the vagaries of history and imagination, great flocks of birds soar, obscuring the sun. Individuals transform into doorbells and insects, seeking shelter from an endless storm. The year sprouts an unexpected thirteenth month. Crowded with moments of stunning beauty, weaving a darkly modern tapestry of memory, myth and reality, Schulz's stories confirm his status as one of the great transformers of the ordinary into the fantastical.
