Electric Trees

by Melissa Bobe

Overview

There is a mermaid in this book.
There is a sea monster.
There are sirens.

This book has monsters and murders, elephants and polar bears and wolves, of a kind. It has crappy jobs and happy escapes. It has funerals and hospitals and hope.

Its homes are haunted by people haunted by the things they cannot face. Its halls are quiet, its colors are loud, and it will take you on a journey if you're willing to stay the course.

Are you?

Editorial Reviews

Bobe's motley collection of short stories delivers drama, weird creatures, and horrors. In the opening story, "Fins," a woman gradually develops gills and a tail every time she's in water. She's becoming something else...This is just one of a handful of genres that Bobe expertly tackles...The author excels at driving readers toward unexpected turns...Eclectic tales take readers through jolts, inspired moments, and endless awe.
