Ballingrud's stories are love stories. They're also monster stories. Sometimes the monsters collected here are vampires or werewolves. Sometimes they wear the faces of parents, lovers, brothers, ex-wives--or the faces we see in our mirrors. The people in these stories, ex-cons, single parents, unemployed laborers, kids seduced by extremism, are stranded by life, driven to desperate acts by love and a longing for connection. Sometimes they're ruined; sometimes redeemed. They are always recognizably, wonderfully, terrifyingly human, even at their most monstrous. 650 0 $a Horror tales, American. 700 1 $i container of (work) : $a Ballingrud, Nathan. $t Short stories. $k Selections 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505012525.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6297838E7CB711EB8C51190E5AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
