2015 World Fantasy Award nominee! "Gifts for the One Who Comes After - saturated with tales of omens and curses, is a gift for the one who comes looking." - Quill & Quire (Starred) Ghost thumbs. Microscopic dogs. One very sad can of tomato soup . . . Helen Marshall's Shirley Jackson Award-Nominee and second collection offers a series of twisted surrealities that explore the legacies we pass on to our children. A son seeks to reconnect with his father through a telescope that sees into the past. A young girl discovers what lies on the other side of her mother's bellybutton. Death's wife prepares for a very special funeral. In Gifts for the One Who Comes After, Marshall delivers eighteen tales of love and loss that cement her as a powerful voice in dark fantasy and the New Weird. Dazzling, disturbing, and deeply moving.
