The Cut Worm
In days the world will be obliterated by Apophis, a meteor the size Texas. What do you say to those you love? Or imagine a world where some lose their shadows, and when they do they become catatonic or kill themselves. How would you react when, one afternoon, you notice your daughter, just a child, no longer has her shadow? The Cut Worm, a chapbook of literary fiction, is rife with families held together by damage. These people are not vampires. They do not fight dragons or live in the future. Instead, they are your neighbors, your friends, your family--maybe you.
This collection reminds us that nothing cuts like a family, and it begs the question, can the cut worm always forgive the plow?
