A Collection of Small Endings
Not all stories go out with fireworks. Some just slip out the back door when no one's looking. In this intimate trio of tales, endings come in small, strange packages-sometimes wrapped in fog, sometimes in feathers, sometimes in silence. In Carolina, a woman on the edge of memory drives toward something she can't quite name. In Casablanca Z, the familiar fog of wartime romance is pierced by something far less romantic-and far more undead. And in Wings Over Staria, a girl shipwrecked on a mysterious island finds her way through grief and into the sky, building a new life one wingbeat at a time. These aren't stories of heroes. They're stories of endings. Small ones. The kind that linger.
”Humans” & ”Animals”
What is "Humans" & "Animals"?An apolitical, fragmented "Animal Farm'-like short story collection exploring the environmental, physical, psychological and emotional complications of human cravings - for both "humans" and "animals".Why write it? I always find myself in someone else's shoes.Here - in an attempt to get out, or at least show how it is to be inside me - I have injected human emotions and thoughts, wants and needs, virtues and vices onto animals.It's partly a humanization of animals, partly an animalization of humans.It's a way to put our own thoughts, feelings, actions, goals and failures - along with the unimaginable collateral damage - into perspective.I guess time will tell if I'll walk around in your shoes, my own or completely barefooted.Examples of what you'll find?There's a pig finding itself in a "concentration camp" on an industrial farm.There's a cat addicted to catnip and cast away by the world.There's a lecture about the meaning of life from the last dodo in the world.There's vast and conflicting conspiracies in the world of lemmings.And much more.Why read it? For the love of animals.To try to guess the animal, or find the animal it is to you.To go inside yourself and the human- and animal-condition.To step outside yourself and, hopefully, see everything a little bit clearer.

The Necessity of Certain Behaviors
Winner of the 2011 Drue Heinz Literature Prize Shannon Cain's stories chart the treacherous territory of the illicit. They expose the absurdity of our rituals, our definitions of sexuality, and above all, our expectations of happiness and self-fulfillment.

In the title story, Lisa, a city dweller, is dissatisfied with her life and relationships. Her attempt at self-rejuvenation takes her on a hiking excursion through a foreign land. Lisa discovers a remote village where the ritualized and generous bisexual love of its inhabitants entrances her. She begins to abandon thoughts of home. In "Cultivation," Frances, a divorced mother strapped with massive credit card debt, has become an expert at growing pot. When she packs her three children and twelve pounds of homegrown into the minivan and travels cross-country to sell the stash, their journey becomes one of anguish, revelation, and ultimately transformation. "Cultivation," like many of the stories in The Necessity of Certain Behaviors, follows a trail of broken relationships and the unfulfilled promises of modern American life. Told in precise, evocative prose, these memorable stories illuminate the human condition from a compelling, funny, and entirely original perspective.
