Böcker av Michele Tracy Berger

"Doll Seed is a collection of speculative short fiction. The stories span horror, fantasy, science fiction, and magical realism, but are always grounded in very real characters and finely rendered, distinctive communities. Thematically linked often by the lives of women and girls, especially women of color and their experiences of vulnerability and outsider status, these stories are playful and provocative. A Black family in the 1970s Bronx plays host to an alien child. An aspiring jewelry artist is haunted by a fast food icon. A doll finds herself in 1950s America playing a key role in the Civil Rights Movement. A meat grinder appears in a magical forest and chaos ensues"--
