Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the 2021 Permafrost Prize in fiction Magical, heartfelt, and surprisingly funny, Sin Eaters paints a tumultuous picture of religion and repression while hinting at the love and connection that come with healing. The powerful stories in Caleb Tankersley s debut collection illuminate the shadowy edges of the American Midwest, featuring aspects of religion, sex and desire, monsters and magic, and humor. Tankersley s characters including swamp creatures looking for love, pothead pastors, ghosts obsessed with TV, and a Jesus made of rust arrive at the crossroads of pleasure and hunger in a world that is equal parts playful, hopeful, and dark. In Never Been More in Love a man must come to terms with his wife s degenerative illness. Uncle Bob explores suicide attempts as a family heirloom. And the titular story follows a woman who must accept her monstrous role to find redemption for herself and her small town. Sin Eaters is a fight for authenticity in a world that is mysterious, muggy, and punctured by violence. This stunning collection full of complex themes will both challenge and delight.
