Inhaltsangabe

Like sharks exiled to an inland sea, here you’ll explore sideways worlds where things are not always what they seem. You’ll rise with a mom who won’t stay in her grave, cower at the might of a poi dog fairy godmother, and panic at the thought of your bones enshrined in a national monument. You’ll swim in dubious waters, walk with sharks, talk with ghosts, and wonder what it means to be a modern Hawaiian living in the high rocky mountains.

Lehua Parker is a master of tension, voice, and authenticity. Writing from her Hawaiian and Utah Pioneer roots, her award-winning fiction, essays, and memoir effortlessly blend elements of horror, magical realism, and romance—all liberally sprinkled with her unique sense of humor. These stories thrill, chill, and warm the heart as they explore what it means to be fundamentally human. Or otherwise.
