  1. Fierce Pretty Things is a powerful, beautifully written collection of short stories that is stylistically or thematically similar to: Tenth of December (George Saunders); Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned (Wells Tower); Magic for Beginners (Kelly Link); The Color Master (Aimee Bender); Dark Lies the Island (Kevin Barry)

  2. It was the winner of the third Blue Light Books Prize, and was selected by judge Samrat Upadhyay, who commented: Each sentence, tight and beautiful, reads like a proof of what powerful fiction can do.

  3. The stories center around grief, loss, and violence, and have perfect balance of tragedy and dark comedy. Theyre extremely relatable and compelling, hard to put down, and almost guaranteed to move readers to tears in one paragraph, and laughter the next.
