A collection of short stories about the extremes humans can find ourselves in—often of our own making. Each story uses the adverb “so” in its title, indicating the extreme function of the following adjectives (tired, snowy, long, alive, dense, rude…). McDowell employs fantasy, literary fiction, historical fiction, speculative fiction, and more in the collection.
- “So Dense” — An unusually dense fog—and a blind woman who seems to know more than climate scientists.
- “So Snowy” — Santa? Is that you?
- “So Humane” — The ‘louison’ was invented by the French as a humane method of execution…who went first?
- “So Quiet” — What if you came back from vacation unable to speak to certain people?
…and six more unusual and engaging stories.
Available from select retailers in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
