Fantastic Shorts — Kari Anne Kilgore

Longing to hold on to a beloved best friend.

Wishing to repair a life gone off the tracks.

A lifelong feeling that you never belong.

The secret life of a gorgeous black cat.

Functioning as signposts along the rich and often twisted road of Kari Kilgore's imagination, each story in this collection explores a different area of fantasy fiction.

Ranging from Appalachia to Atlanta, from love to loss, they all touch on emotions or experiences readers recognize.

The (mostly) women in Fantastic Shorts: Volume 1 may start out in familiar territory.

But in the hands of this talented storyteller, readers quickly learn to always expect the strange.
