Read alone, each story in Lauren Groff’s electric collection is an individual triumph, bold, agile, and packed with power. Read together, they hum in exhilarating resonance. Ranging from the 1950s to the present day and moving across age, class, and region — from New England to Florida to California — these nine stories reflect and expand upon a shared theme: the ceaseless battle between humans’ dark and light angels.

Lauren Groff is the award-winning and bestselling author of the celebrated short story collections, Delicate Edible Birds, Florida, a finalist for the National Book Award, and Brawler, as well as several novels- The Monsters of Templeton, shortlisted for the Orange Prize for New Writers, Arcadia, winner of the Medici Book Club Prize, Fates and Furies, a finalist for the National Book Award and Amazon’s pick for Best Book of the Year, and the instant New York Times bestsellers Matrix and The Vaster Wilds.
