Makepeace's stories are like works of clay, but the clay is reality, which she dexterously bends and reshapes into something new with every narrative. -Gabino Iglesias, Coyote Songs Makepeace's words infiltrate your mind like smoke, permeating it so subtly with the odd and the off-kilter, you don't realize until you're completely enmeshed in her uncanny world. I never wanted to leave. -Claire C. Holland, I Am Not Your Final Girl The worlds she creates in her stories exist down a street you didn't know was there, in a building you keep meaning to visit, on a day when it felt like life was happening somewhere else. They're irresistible.-Lise Quintana, publisher Zoetic Press Do you know what it means to be haunted? To lose yourself in a world where you don't quite fit? This selection of stories proves that the emptiest rooms can often be the most crowded. With its titular novella acting as anchor, The Sound of Breaking Glass, an atypical possession tale, dares you to peer into darkened corners in search of other worlds. From a fry cook's unlikely ascent to power, to a fashionista's deconstruction, these stories will wiggle into your brain whether you like it or not. Exploring loss of self, isolation, and the soul-crushing machine that is capitalism, The Sound of Breaking Glass (and other weird tales) is an unflinchingly weird, lush, and mournful collection of fiction.
