These ten stories have won an array of honors—and whether set in the historical past or in a speculative future, each is wildly imaginative and shockingly real.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn “Sagittarius,” selected for \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, a mother and father search a dark forest for their missing newborn, who is either a child with profound birth defects or a miraculous creature. In “False Positive,” a ghostly girl visits her biological father ten years after being aborted in utero. In “Bereavement,” a marriage is falling apart following a child’s accidental death, but a combination of myth and technology provides hope for a second life. Fantastic, horrific, painfully familiar, these stories are the work of a consummate storyteller.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Greg Hrbek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615818015100,"sku":"9780803236448","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780803236448_7010290d-fb56-40a3-9618-e01bf8194cd7.jpg?v=1726577242","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/destroy-all-monsters-and-other-stories","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
