New collection from a writer who has won four major fiction prizes from institutions and magazines across Canada
Possible blurbs from Maureen McHugh, Elizabeth Hand, Kelly Link, Kathleen Winter, Anakana Schofield, Caroline Adderson, Annabel Lyon
Voice-driven stories (compare: Anakana Schofield), highly inflected, with remarkable character range (of age, class, even species—one of the stories is partly told from the point-of-view of a leopardess!)
Stark black and red cover to emphasize noir-ish element
Surreal and slightly gothic stories exploring the inner psychological lives of their protagonists; mostly but not exclusively women; what makes them unique is their settings and Flood's ability to mimic her subject's voice with descriptive 3rd-person prose
There aren't news tie-ins per se, but a few stories have subject-specific hooks we could pitch at non-literary magazines and/or bloggers (there's a story told from the perspective of an imprisoned wild cat, for example, and another about sleep deprivation in new parents). Red Girl Rat Boy
