Children & Their Cages: New Fairytales

by Evan James Sheldon

Overview

CHILDREN & THEIR CAGES is a collection of stories that borrows from absurd, surreal, fabulist, and fairytale forms -- and then creates an electrifying gestalt wholly new on the literary landscape.

From porcupine dinners, to finding human teeth in a stolen suit, to slipping into your dead father's skin for a quick trip to the farmer's market, to meeting an old man who breeds blood-red rabbits, to joining a group of strange children at a funeral, these stories evaluate family norms as well as the uncanny world we have all inherited.

With this singular debut, Evan James Sheldon sets a new standard for weird fiction.
