Cowboy Jamboree Press is proud to present, now back in print, 3 outstanding works from Meg Tuite: the chapbook Her Skin is a Costume, the novel Domestic Apparitions, and the short story collection Bound by Blue. Praise for Domestic Apparitions
Any novel that wants to portray the truth of our short time on this planet has to be about failure and tragedy first and foremost, even if interlaced with moments of grace, hilarity and beauty. This Tuite does handily.
-The Nervous Breakdown Meg Tuite gives us a wonderful tableau of familiar characters: just as if all of it were about our friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, about people we know or knew quite well, even about ourselves...
-Specter A poignant ride through different phases of the protagonist's life, Do- mestic Apparition is funny, sarcastic, dark, reflective, and touching.
-New Pages Meg Tuite is like Sissy Spacek in the movie Carrie when they dump pig blood on her, but instead of setting the prom on fire, she ignites your brain using dark and mysterious word torches.
-Brian Ellis Praise for Bound by Blue
It's hard not to feel the range of human emotion when you read Bound by Blue. Meg Tuite's stories are beautifully painful and painfully beautiful. These characters will stick with you so long, you'll remember them as people you actually knew.
-Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Wonder Bread Summer Meg Tuite's quirky worlds force a funhouse mirror in front of the freak show of life. There's poison buried deep in the candy that's Bound By Blue, but you will be a better person, once you've let it kill you softly-the ache, the beauty and the pain molding you into a more perfect being.
-Brian Allen Carr, author of Vampire Conditions Meg Tuite writes these stories like secret storms. You won't notice until after how wrecked the lawn of your brain has become, as these stories sneak up and roll over you in the best way. Tuite's characters are the bravest frightened animals, caught out in a bright light-their beautiful, terrible choices exposed and devastating.
-Amber Sparks, author of May We Shed These Human Bodies Deep empathy rises inside you as you read Meg Tuite's brilliant story collection, Bound By Blue. From the first page, the characters, their flaws, their movements are so alive you feel as if you know them - and you do - because they are a part of you. Stunning, thought-provoking, gripping, these exquisite stories mix haunting memories with humor and grit. They will leave you with a stronger sense of our shared humanity. A masterful story collection.
