If you giggle into the abyss, it just might giggle back.

Laughter takes on a different shape in the dark. It echoes too long. It catches in the throat. It leaves you to wonder if you are amused—or only trying not to scream. invites readers into that uneasy space between a chuckle and a scream. Twenty-three stories and poems turn the familiar ins...
