The daughter of the Last American Cowboy is tasked with putting her late-father's ashes to rest, but has plans of her own. A woman wakes up after the first night with her lover to discover she's birthed a pile of maggots. The ghost of Hans Christian Andersen comforts a young girl. These short stories are haunted by the destructive, often cyclically so, power of love and fantasy.

A kind of frenetic energy carries the reader through these pieces"- Kym Cunninham, author of NEW MYTHOLOGIES and DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING
