Sorrow Bends the Wing: Stories

Summary

Following in the footsteps of his Shirley Jackson Award–winning collection, Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons, the fourteen stories in Sorrow Bends the Wing are uncanny, satisfyingly strange, and deeply heartfelt.

In “Eat Me, S8 E1,” a young woman joins a zombie-eliminating reality competition series to fund her sister’s cancer treatments.

In “Torch Songs,” a scarred supervillain in Witness Protection must decide if she will return to a life of terror when her past resurfaces.

In “The Monster,” a father buys a monster cub for his estranged, radicalized son, to lethal results.

And in “Second Deaths,” a mournful addict corrals the undead in exchange for his next fix.

Sorrow Bends the Wing is a gripping new collection from Keith Rosson, the breakout author of the Fever House duology and Coffin Moon—perfect for fans of Stephen King and Joe Hill (who are fans of Keith themselves).
