Photos of women eating go viral; a cookie communicates a threat;, and women working dead-end jobs become entangled in the performances around them. Everyday experiences of friendship, family, dating, and desire catapult the reader into a creepy vortex of horror. Characters reveal themselves in slippery glimpses, through positive affirmations, social media accounts and secret appetites. With this collection of haunting and haunted stories, Marni Appleton immerses readers in a world of fleeting encounters, empty couplings, break ups, bust ups, threesomes, and ghosts to present a kaleidoscopic overview of twenty-first century life.
