Ray Vukcevich’s new collection includes 33 previously uncollected stories, all with his trademark whimsical skewed look at the world around us. . . a world of hidden stairs, funny smells, vampire girlfriends, fire women, missile boys, secret libraries, and outlandish (and yet frighteningly real) airline procedures.

‘There is no such thing as a typical Ray Vukcevich story. They all start a  strong left turn from reality and then do the Charleston through a space warp.” Adam Troy-Castro
