"This stylistically creative collection of stories explores what it might be like to be a Galapagos Tortoise's girlfriend, survive a global cataclysm, flip a coin to decide your fate, and allow yourself to disappear down a highway with no destination in mind. Each story hums with an undercurrent of dread and dark humor and invites the reader to consider how it might feel to have control at the tips of your fingers but never quite within reach." --
