NOTES
Such a pretty face -- The Summoning -- A different beat -- What would you give for a treat like me -- The carrier -- Playing house -- Sad straight sex at the end of the world -- Flowers -- Big round ball of light and the water -- Saying its name breaks it -- Two truths and a lie -- Nature morte -- Only corpses stay -- Rath -- Break-up poem recited knee-deep in bog water
"What will the end of the world look like? Will it be an old man slowly turned to gold, flowers raining from the sky, or a hole cut through the wire fencing that keeps the monsters out? Is it someone you love wearing your face, or a good old fashioned inter-dimensional summoning? Does it sound like a howl outside the window, or does it look like coming home? This startling and irresistibly witty collection from the phenomenally talented Moira Fowley is an exploration of all our darkest impulses and deepest fears."--
