From the author of the novel "Swamplandia --"a finalist for the
Pulitzer Prize--comes a magical and uniquely daring collection of
stories that showcases the author's gifts at their inimitable
best.
Within these pages, a community of girls held captive in a Japanese
silk factory slowly transmute into human silkworms and plot
revolution; a group of boys stumble upon a mutilated scarecrow that
bears an uncanny resemblance to a missing classmate that they used
to torment; a family's disastrous quest for land in the American
West has grave consequences; and in the marvelous title story, two
vampires in a sun-drenched lemon grove try to slake their thirst
for blood and come to terms with their immortal relationship.
