The Holy Innocents and Other Stories by Joan Carol Bird Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Exit the world of the living. Enter the realm of the dead. Among these stories, meet the foundlings of Holy Innocents Orphanage, an unstable spirit in the grip of a magnetic attraction, an unscrupulous corporate executive, a mutant monster, and a ravenous walk-in. "Short story writer Bird (Nightmare and Nostalgia, 2013) offers five tales of the fantastic, most involving haunted (or haunting) females. The author makes ghost stories her specialty in this collection, and hers are of an especially gentle variety, grounded more in emotion than horror..." "Bird distinguishes her tales with pleasing, well-chosen language, and the second, "Magnetic Attraction," is a standout: an imagining of the fractured family relationships of scientist-spouses Marie and Pierre that uses wordplay and terminology derived from physics and chemistry (although it's set during a séance, naturally)..." "Readers can finish this collection in the time it takes to watch a Creepshow-style horror-film anthology. The tales don't have that movie's gore, but they do offer consistency, intelligence and a few haunting notions. An offbeat set of horror stories that impart subtle, rather than raw, shocks." --Kirkus Review Details ISBN 1499182104 ISBN-13 9781499182101 Title The Holy Innocents and Other Stories Author Joan Carol Bird Format Paperback Year 2014 Pages 88 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform GEItemID:93255353; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
