Hi, folks!
We’re so excited to have been able to release Cathy Ulrich’s stellar follow-up short story collection to her debut, SMALL, BURNING THINGS!
Kevin Brockmeier, author of THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEAD, VIEWS FROM THE SEVENTH LAYER, and THE GHOST VARIATIONS says about Cathy’s first book and her writing:
“With her first book, GHOSTS OF YOU, Cathy Ulrich immediately became one of my favorite flash fiction writers, and SMALL, BURNING THINGS is every bit as audacious, shimmering with just as much strangeness, humor, and melancholy as that amazing debut. Ulrich is a master of the art of compression, finding entire worlds in purses and playgrounds, French films and burning houses, teenage girls and yo-yo champions, axe murderers and giraffes. You can feel every sentence she writes being squeezed down to its perfect essence.”
