Exit Zero: Stories by Marie-Helene Bertino

Hi Folks,

Been wanting to read a short story collection and this one also looks like a good Halloween read:

"Blending seemingly mundane yet emotionally charged fragments of life with backyard unicorns, ghosts and a vampire (or two), this mélange of literary fiction and sci-fi makes all twelve unique tales a treat.

Death-shaped entities—with all of their humor and strangeness— haunt the twelve stories in Exit Zero. Vampires, ghost girls, fathers, blank spaces, day-old peaches, and famous paintings all pierce through their world into ours, reminding us to pay attention! and look alive! and offering many other flashes of wisdom from the oracle and author of Beautyland, Marie-Helene Bertino."
