Add a CommentDo you like creatively weird, imaginatively surreal stories that mix psychological insight with dry humour and are populated by daringly inventive characters (centuries-old vampires who suffer all-too-human woes, a former U.S. president reincarnated as a horse, a soldier whose tattoos...well, we won't ruin it for you)? Then you'll be right at home with award-winning author Karen Russell's latest short story collection, which mixes whimsy and horror in a unique and engaging manner. Fans of George Saunders will want to give Russell a try. Fiction A to Z newsletter March 2013.
