The Monsters Are Here

The thirty stories in this collection give the reader Kelly Link meets Bram Stoker and Nathaniel Hawthorne in a forest or an alternative universe with aliens. The stories rely on both humor and terror to capture the reader's attention. As one literary journal editor noted, "[D'Angelo is] very good at building suspense." Consisting of both flash fiction and full-length stories, this feminist collection will taking you through a gambit of genre-bending tales. From Claudia, a young witch, learning to harness her powers to save her coven from destruction to Leslie trying to balance the challenges of being a vampire at night and an accountant by day to Laura warned not to walk in the wilderness alone, there's a monster and lesson for everyone.   Lori D'Angelo is a grant recipient from the Elizabeth George Foundation, a fellow at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts, and an alumna of the Community of Writers.
