Publisher Description

New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice

Bradford Morrow’s stories have garnered him awards such as the O. Henry and Pushcart Prizes and have given him a devoted following. Now gathered here for the first time is a collection of his most darkly comic, masterfully written tales.

A young man whose childhood hobby of collecting sea shells and birds’ nests takes a sinister turn when he becomes obsessed with acquiring his brother’s girlfriend, in “The Hoarder” (selected as one of the Best American Noir Stories of the Century). An archeologist summoned to attend his beloved sister’s funeral is astonished to discover it is not she who has died, but someone much closer to him, in “Gardener of Heart.” A blind motivational speaker has a crisis of faith when he suddenly regains his sight, only to discover life was better lived in the dark, in “Amazing Grace.”

In all of these stories, readers will find themselves enthralled and captivated by one of the major voices in contemporary American fiction.

“This book is insanely frustrating - so many of Morrow's stories have excellent potential, only to be buried in navel-gazing. Most of the stories are modern gothic tales, which can be really exciting, if anything actually happens in them! Instead, the majority of the stories in this book are uninteresting, and their frequent "twists" are easy to predict from the first page, often. Not to mention that so many of the stories are the same basic plot, rehashed in slightly different ways. The best story is the last one, "Lush," which is the bittersweet and surprisingly touching story of the way a drunk driving accident changes two peoples' lives. Maybe Morrow should have written more about actual people and less about vague creepy incidents from peoples' pasts.”
