Unrequited Loss

In this, her latest collection of short fiction, veteran author Elizabeth Engstrom again shows her superior storytelling talents. From the author of the acclaimed books Lizzie Borden, When Darkness Loves Us, and The Itinerant, she shows her writing prowess in the short fiction form. From science fiction to western to horror, psychological suspense and love, she captures the spirit of the human condition in its myriad facets. These 21 stories, some previously published, many originals, will transport you to different times and different places that will allow your imagination to roam free. According to Midwestern Book Review "...Each story is a microcosm of experience and insight that will delight the psyche; whether literary readers seek the macabre, psychological shifts that render the underpinnings of foundations fluid, or the types of loss that expand notions of adaptation, change, and tragedy into unfamiliar territory..." According to New York Times bestselling author, John Saul, "Engstrom has a remarkable talent for dropping her readers directly into a storyline, introducing the characters and starting the story. And then, before you know it, you fall back out of the story and are back into reality. And yet, the story never goes away..." Take your time reading these stories. Many will sneak up on you later.
