In these eight darkly comic stories, Tom Howard explores the
instincts for violence and tenderness that mark his character's
lives. A brother and sister wander the pier after a deadly plague
destroys most of humanity. A high school bully struggles to
overcome his demons. A man in the grips of dementia is visited by
his children's ghosts. The people in these blistering tales grapple
with past mistakes, trying to navigate their way toward redemption
and resurrection and failing often-but always with a ferocious
heart. Their unforgettable voices guide us through schoolyards,
cemeteries, drive-in theaters, and the rich landscapes of their own
imaginations. Equal parts funny, tragic, and wise, Fierce Pretty
Things is a striking debut that teaches us how to live in a world
as cruel as it is beautiful.
