Description

A collection of 10 nightmarish short stories. A surreal family celebration in Happy Birthday Dear Tama from its opening line "Puppies were so nice when they were dead Tama thought" to its horrific conclusion and Gingerbread in which a family gift of bringing dough to life takes a dark turn. Valet Parking and The Black Ladies rely heavily on dream-logic. The collection spanning more than two decades contains Littles trademark visceral descriptives and Southwest settings.
