From the author of The Prodigals comes a frightening, funny and prescient collection of short stories about the changing landscape of America. Monsters in America delves into a world that appears eerily similar to our own. But things are not as they seem. Beneath the surface of a happy marriage, an idyllic life on a farm or a budding new relationship, lurk giant snakes, women transforming into violent cats, Halloween trolls who terrorize children and politicians that feast on the blood of voters. These monsters, terrifying, oddly funny and unforgettable, illuminate the dangers of America's social and political climate and the consequences of losing our humanity to ideologies.
In these eleven beautifully crafted stories, Jacob Wrich cuts right to the heart. Set in the Midwest over the course of one year, The Prodigals takes us deep into the lives of its interrelated characters as they endure both tragedy and triumph. From a young Japanese-American girl growing up in post–World War II Minnesota to a famous playwright’s attempt to write one last play after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, The Prodigals is filled with humanity and humor.
