  Mason Creek, Montana, is my home. 
   
   
   
  It always has been and truth is, there is no place like it. I can hide away in a big city, pretend as if I'm not drowning. I can ignore the sadness inside my heart that is begging for a change. But if I'm being honest, my sense of belonging has disappeared. 
   
   
   
  I thought I wanted the big city life, the fast track, and all the glamorous things. Turns out, there's nowhere I'd rather be than home. Coming back to help run my mom's business gave me the perfect escape. 
   
   
   
  But there is one problem. An unresolved past has a way of haunting anyone. Things can sure get complicated when the man that broke your heart all those years ago is now your new landlord. 
   
   
   
  It may get a little messy, I may regret my decision to stay . . . 
   
   
   
  But then again, this might just be the Perfect Risk.

  From award-winning novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman, Thrilled to Death is a collection of selected stories across the career of America's most audacious writer 
   
   
   
  Among the vanguard of American literary writers, Lynne Tillman's work has defied categorization throughout her legendary career—a singular body of work that both redefined and reimagined the short story form entirely. 
   
   
   
  Curated by the author, Thrilled to Death is the definitive entry point for both established fans and new readers alike. These selected stories collect a bold, playful, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman's Borgesian fictions that span decades and traverse themes of sex, death, memory, and anxiety. 
   
   
   
  With argumentative wit, Tillman's meditations and reflections on art, politics, and culture are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who desire and fret in turn, and who are imbued with searing intelligence and dolorous ambivalence. Describing Tillman's writing, Colm Tóibín says: "Her style has both tone and undertone; it attempts to register the impossibility of saying very much, but it insists on the right to say a little. So what is essential is the voice itself, its ways of knowing and unknowing."

  CORA: Sent to Screaming Woods to write a magazine piece on its resident monsters, I'm ready to meet hairy beasts, ogres, vampires . . . what I'm not prepared for? A snake man. I'm terrified of snakes. Now I'll have to talk to a man-sized one on a daily basis, because he owns the motel where I'm staying. Once the initial shock of coming face to face with a walking, talking snake passes, I start to see Leroy for the man beneath the monster exterior. And the more I get to know my snake man, the more I realize my biggest fear would be losing him. 
   
   
   
  LEROY: At nineteen, I unknowingly drank the poisoned party punch that turned many of Screaming Woods' residents into monsters. Twenty-plus years later, I wouldn't change back if I could. I have the best of both species in me. My new anatomy has definite advantages, and because of them, I'm frequently propositioned. But that's not the kind of proposal I seek. I'm the loneliest snake in town until the day Cora walks into the motel I own—and promptly faints at the sight of me. The lovely magazine reporter is only in town to interview monsters for an article, but I know from the first day that I won't want to say goodbye to her. My charms have never failed me before, but I'm a one-hundred-and-eighty-pound embodiment of her biggest fear. That won't stop me from trying. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
