These edgy stories contain a potent mix of stark realism, fantasmic sexuality, and fabulism--in other words, they are eerily prescient about our current life. Poland even managed to write about a pandemic before the present one occurred. Already well published, Poland will work to place some of the unpublished stories from the collection in prominent publications such as LitHub and Catapult. This collection will appeal to fans of Carmen Maria Machado, Karen Russell, or even Shirley Jackson.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Winner of the Bakwin Award. Final contest judge and award-winning author Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties) described the work as ?a wonderful debut; a collection of frank, funny, and heartbreaking stories that delve into the mire of human loneliness.? Poland?s stories usher in a world where mortal fear, the threat of violation, and the body?s looming betrayal drive us to look beyond surface appearances. In these stories, readers will find: a mosquito-borne illness invading a small southern town, forcing its inhabitants to negotiate their lust against the threats of virus-induced paralysis; a pair of newlyweds on their honeymoon at a luxury resort whose automated services quickly turn menacing; a woman whose backyard shed freezes time, forcing her to decide between her need for love and her need for escape. Poland?s stories move among richly imagined landscapes, bringing to life the deep loneliness at the heart of the modern condition and the ephemerality of the bridges we build against the dark.
