Grave blankets, now available!

Abstract

Grave Blankets, Now Available! is a literary fiction short story collection consisting of eight connected stories. The collection begins during the Civil War, when two deserters from Sherman's army discover the aftermath of a massacre deep in the Georgian forest. This incident serves as the catalyst for the other stories in the collection, which follow the families connected to the bizarre tragedy for the next 200 years. Grave Blankets, Now Available! blends literary fiction with elements of fabulism, slipstream, and historical fiction. The stories feature topics as diverse as county workers feeding roadkill to circus lions, a young woman in thrall of her fortune-teller mother, and a professional football player with an augmented arm.
