Every story in Soul And All is a fantastical kaleidoscope capturing and splitting to its grittiest elements the triumphs and trials, the terrors and loves of life, work, ambition, family, transgression, comedy, and the omnipresence of violence and deception. In "Giddy", an older couple's quiet life is upended by the arrival of a young boy, mysterious, starving, perhaps a bit mad, very afraid of police. In "Memoria" a woman chafes at the raising of a memorial for two car accident victims - it brings back too many memories. And in "The Mother of Slugs", the grandson of an ailing woman in the grips of dementia tries desperately to get her to teach him her strange, dark magic. These worlds are indelibly strange, full of magic, monsters, darkness, the mite of joy in them familiar, their horror and humor entirely new. Soul And All is sure to delight and revile fans of Marlon James, Chuck Palahniuk, and Karen Russell.
