  In her debut collection, Theresa Braun explores the inner workings of the human heart and what it is we most desire—forgiveness, acceptance, love, fame, or merely to escape who we really are. Whether we are battling ghosts, demons, mythical monsters, the past, or other dimensions, we are really facing the deepest parts of ourselves. These thirteen tales of horror and dark fantasy may appear to be a matter of good versus evil, but they are all a reflection of the hidden corners of the soul that are often shades of broken darkness. The characters in these stories must face their inner and outer terrors, or else suffer the consequences.

  "There's a new world master among us, and her name is Can Xue." —Robert Coover 
   
  Two young girls sneak onto the grounds of a hospital, where they find a disturbing moment of silence in a rose garden. A couple grows a plant that blooms underground, invisibly, to their long-time neighbor's consternation. A cat worries about its sleepwalking owner, who receives a mysterious visitor while he's asleep. After a ten-year absence, a young man visits his uncle, on the twenty-fourth floor of a high-rise that is floating in the air, while his ugly cousin hesitates on the stairs . . .  
   
   
   
  Can Xue is a master of the dreamscape, crafting stories that inhabit the space where fantasy and reality, time and timelessness, the quotidian and the extraordinary, meet. The stories in this striking and lyrical new collection—populated by old married couples, children, cats, and nosy neighbors, the entire menagerie of the everyday—reaffirm Can Xue's reputation as one of the most innovative Chinese writers in a generation.

  Christmas Carol - Carol loves...

  I watched the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol again and it prompted me to write the first novel in this series. I love the story and have watched every version of it, but the 1951 version is my favourite. It was made long before most of us were born but it seems to capture the spirit of Charles Dickens’s book if you know what I mean. I hope Mr Dickens will forgive me for my spanking version.

  She writes about happily ever-afters, but can he give her one? 
  Dorian: I’ve wanted to adopt a dog for the last year, but I believe a dog—much like a girlfriend—should come into my life naturally, not via an app designed like a dating service.

Can I convince her to rescue me like she’s rescued the adorable fur kids that brought us together? 
  Cersei: I’m a romance author and a foster mom, so my adoption ads get some inappropriate inquiries that have nothing to do with the dogs, but I can’t ignore the response from the hot guy with the sparkly blue eyes who seems like the perfect adopter. After we meet, I’m wondering if he’s also perfect for me, and if he could be the guy to give this romance author her happily ever-after? 
  Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.
