THINGS SLIP THROUGH by Kevin Lucia
Author: Kevin Lucia
2009 British Fantasy Award Winner for Best Collection The twenty-one stories collected in Bull Running for Girls are widely varied, both in setting and subject. From small town life in Madison County to the dangers of bull running in Pamplona, the stories seem, at first blush, unrelated. They are bound, however, by Allyson Bird’s strength. She is a remarkable woman, the stories collected here as personal as they are unsettling. The atmosphere, the tone and mood invoked by the author aside – it is the humanity at the heart of each tale that is so disquieting.
“Violent and gritty, mysterious and frightening, Lucia spins out a consistent stream of tight prose. Constant tension and ever-building suspense, I could not put the book down. It might be a collection of short stories – might sell as a collection of short stories. I figured it out! Don’t let Kevin Lucia or the publisher fool you. Don’t be tricked. This, Things Slip Through, is an amazing NOVEL.” – Phillip Tomasso
“An impressive debut collection from one of the horror genre’s best new authors. Lucia is a true craftsman of the horror story, with a fine sense of the genre’s best traditions.” Norman Prentiss, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Invisible Fences and The Fleshless Man
“Lucia’s Things Slip Through serves itself up as both a short story collection and a complete, cohesive novel all at once–a chimeric concoction of honest, heartfelt, and truly frightening prose that should not be missed. Highly recommended.” Ronald Malfi, author of Floating Staircase
