The Sea Beast Takes a Lover

Resumen del libro

Bewitching and playful, with its feet only slightly tethered to the world we know, The Sea Beast Takes a Lover explores hope, love, and loss across a series of surreal landscapes and wild metamorphoses. Just because Jenny was born without a head doesnt mean she isnt still annoying to her older brother, and just because the Man of the Futures carefully planned extramarital affair ends in alien abduction and network fame doesnt mean he cant still pine for his absent wife. Romping through the fantastic with big-hearted ease, these stories cut to the core of what it means to navigate family, faith, and longing, whether in the form of a lovesick kraken slowly dragging a ship of sailors into the sea, a small town euthanizing its grandfathers in a time-honored ritual, or a third-grade field trip learning that time travel is even more wondrous'and more perilous'than they might imagine.
