display_description
"These are tales of seekers, often damaged, who find themselves caught up in skewed realities, facing lurking threats, violent deaths, strange entities, and alienating technologies. Confronted with unsettling, escalating, circumstances, the disparate cast of characters are driven toward self-revelation and perverse moments of poignancy. A troubled high schooler traps a peer in an underground storage space. A traumatized felon returns home to rob the man who molested him as a child. A videogame help-line operator suspects a regular caller, obsessed with a disturbing role-playing game, of real-life misdeeds. In the title story, an unhappy couple adopts a "designer animal," a genetic hybrid created to be the perfect pet. But the "grot" makes trouble in the neighborhood, becoming emblematic of a deeper problem. 'Something is wrong with the world,' the narrator's husband explains. 'A design flaw. It's so thoroughly corrupted, I'm not sure how to fix it.' Inventive and unpredictable, these thirteen stories are wholly immersive, showing Sheehy at his captivating best."--
