Woman with Dark Horses

Winner of the 1st Starcherone Prize for Innovative Fiction, chosen by Cris Mazza -- The stories in Woman with Dark Horses are atmospheric and dark, incorporating murder motifs and dissociated voices and characters. Mazza praised the collection's "raw, loosely sewn, sinuous narratives which surprise the reader frequently with astonishing climaxes — frequently a lack of climax where, in a different tradition, there seemingly should have been one." "A keen eye and ear for unique detail are at work here," said Mazza.
