A debut short story collection in the tradition of writers like Kelly Link, Aimee Bender, and George Saunders--strange, imaginative, and refreshingly original--now back in print as part of Ecco's "Art of the Story" Series, and with a new introduction from the author


Kevin Wilson's characters inhabit a world that moves seamlessly between the real and the imagined, the mundane and the fantastic. "Grand Stand-In" is narrated by an employee of the Nuclear Family Supplemental Provider--a company that supplies "stand-ins" for families with deceased, ill, or just plain mean grandparents. And in "Blowing Up On the Spot," a story singled out by Ann Patchett for Ploughshares, a young woman works sorting tiles at a Scrabble factory after her parents have spontaneously combusted.

Southern gothic at its best, laced with humor and pathos, these wonderfully inventive stories explore the relationship between loss and death and the many ways we try to cope with both.

90’s me be jealous 🥹
Color: #04 Bronze
26 years later, here I am- the sparkling unicorn of an adult the late 90’s child version of myself DREAMED of while coating ✨EVERYTHING✨ in glitter and shimmer. Only now, I have an Amazon card and the impulse control of a toddler, so I sparkle now 🤩. Am I 40 years old? Absolutely. Did my kindergarteners at school ask why I sparkle now? Absolutely. Did my mid-life crisis self lie to them, and say because I’m a magical unicorn? Absolutely. Did they believe me? ABSOLUTELY. 10/10 recommend, but only if you too want to live your best magical unicorn life! Technical notes- the smell is light and lovely. It dries without a “feel” so I forget I even have it on. The shimmer is noticeable, but not like I rolled in glitter. I’m enjoying the bronze glimmer color, but I’m sure will be back soon for more. I could easily spray more if I wanted to be more blatant with my attention seeking. I will absolutely be using this stuff from now until I’m in my grave with no shame! Fantastic all around 🤌

Love the glitter!
Color: #04 Bronze
This glitter body spray is everything! It’s water based so you have to shake and mix the product first before you spray. It dries quickly after that. I mixed a little with lotion too to spread it out & it still applied well which I love. I did go through half the bottle but I used it on me & my friend. Definitely worth the purchase.
