Somewhere North of Normal

"The sixteen stories in this collection entitled Somewhere North of Normal, take the reader to a place where the less stable elements of reality bend-where a dying butterfly may inspire a revelation, where after being electrocuted an artist's body becomes a work of art, where a man may wake up after falling four stories to find himself face to face with his ten-year-old self. This outright defiance of that which we hold to be impossible is rooted to varying degrees in each story, not simply because fiction allows it, but because it is within the geography of the imagination that the lost souls of this collection attain transcendence and emotional reconciliation."--
