A teenager entering puberty finds her body transforming in ways very different than her classmates’. As a popular band gathers momentum, the fangirls following their tour turn into something monstrous. After their parents remarry, two step-sisters, one a girl and one a wolf, develop a dangerously close bond.

Blending elements of horror, science fiction, mythology, and feminism, salt slow is an utterly original collection of short stories that are sure to dazzle and shock, heralding the arrival of a daring new voice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Legible Heavens explores what the most intimate forms of experience reveal about our most cosmic concerns, and vice versa. Its four sequences act like compass points to orient a human landscape. On one axis, "Star Chart for the Rainy Season" laments love lost, appealing to the biblical assertion that "love is stronger than death, and passion more cruel," in contrast to "Material Implication," which celebrates love found, in sonnets of desire insistently "glowing against the dusk." On the other axis, "All the One-Eyed Boys in Town" treats love as perdition, the speaker imagining his life as "a match scratched down your wingbones," in contrast to "Synopsis," which treats love as salvation, reinscribing the biblical gospels (canonical and apocryphal alike) to "solicit a miracle I must not expect.""--BOOK JACKET.
