Following the release of his debut novel, The God of Fate and Chaos, LaVigne has returned with a collection of richly imagined stories powered by mystery, warmth, and the unexpected. Returning readers will find familiar themes; secret worlds, isolation and longing, and the histories we carry within ourselves. A widowed father and his son return to the town of his youth, only to confront the terrible bargain he made there years before. A recovering mental patient cannot tell if she is being haunted by the ghost of her child, or dragged back into madness. An encounter with a tragically disfigured astronaut gives a lost man a glimpse of the eternal. These and a dozen other tales will take readers on a tour not just of alternate realities, but of the human condition, with all its beauty and shortcomings.
