Cracked Spines

Dense Little Weirdos: Short Story Collections


Listen Later

This week, Amelia and Sarah are talking about short story collections by a single author that bodied us and kicked us while we were down. In a good way! We discuss three books that are strong contenders for our faves of the year, while every plane in the PNW circles overhead. I know you can't hear the planes that much in this final version. That's because I'm a hero and I have sheltered your ears with the feeble powers of Audacity. Amelia encounters a horror story that genuinely chills her frozen heart. Sarah gushes about Gwen Kirby's work so effusively that in editing, we had to cut a lot of it out because it was just incoherent love. Scurvy meows pitifully and we make fun of her. You know. The usual.

Media discussed:
Shit Cassandra Saw  by Gwen E. Kirby
Everyone on the Moon is Essential Personnel by Julian K. Jarboe
Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung, trans. by Anton Hur
