From the author of
Between Everything and Nothing, "an inspired collection of twenty stories, brilliant in its command of tone and narrative perspective" (
Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
Demons in the Spring is a collection of twenty short stories by Joe Meno, author of the smash hits
The Boy Detective Fails and
Hairstyles of the Damned, with illustrations by twenty artists from the fine art, graphic art, and comic book worlds-Todd Baxter, Kelsey Brookes, Ivan Brunetti, Charles Burns, Nick Butcher, Steph Davidson, Evan Hecox, Kim Hiorthoy, Paul Hornschemeier, Cody Hudson, Caroline Hwang, kozyndan, Geoff McFetridge, Anders Nilsen, Laura Owens, Archer Prewitt, Jon Resh, Jay Ryan, Souther Salazar, Rachell Sumpter, and Chris Uphues.
In these stories, oddly modern moments occur in the most familiar of public places-from offices to airports to schools to zoos to emergency rooms. A young girl refuses to go anywhere unless she's dressed as a ghost. A bank robbery in Stockholm goes terribly wrong. A teacher becomes enamored with the students in his school's Model United Nations club. A couple is affected by a strange malady. A miniature city begins to develop in a young woman's chest. These inventive stories are hilarious, heartbreaking, and unusual.
A portion of the author's proceeds from the book will go directly to benefit 826 CHICAGO, a nonprofit tutoring center, part of the national organization of tutoring centers with branches in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle.
