The stories in hush hush hush succeed precisely where her characters’ tenuous connections to the world fail. Inside these stunning little tales are pawned prosthetic legs\, a frozen ghost-child mascot haunting a home for pregnant teenagers\, a new family home where chairs stack themselves and walls bleed\, and family terrorists of every variety. Sad\, haunting\, and often darkly funny\, I couldn’t stop reading these disarmingly beautiful stories of how easy it is to lose what we love the most. They shimmer and glow with quirky brilliance.” \n—Meg Pokrass\, author of Spinning to Mars and Founding Editor of Best Microfiction

When four young lovers flee the city to follow their hearts\, they wander into a place where anything can happen\, and usually does. A mischievous fairy named Puck\, armed with a magic flower\, sends the lovers chasing each other in all the wrong directions\, and the queen of the fairies falls head over heels for a buffoonish “ass.” When dawn breaks\, love wins\, and all that’s left to do is celebrate with three weddings and a play-within-a-play so charmingly terrible it just might steal the show.

When four young lovers flee the city to follow their hearts\, they wander into a place where anything can happen\, and usually does. A mischievous fairy named Puck\, armed with a magic flower\, sends the lovers chasing each other in all the wrong directions\, and the queen of the fairies falls head over heels for a buffoonish “ass.” When dawn breaks\, love wins\, and all that’s left to do is celebrate with three weddings and a play-within-a-play so charmingly terrible it just might steal the show.
