In "Delivery," a family watches as their dementia-addled, basement-dwelling father succumbs to an online shopping addiction. "Dont Lets" finds a woman, recently freed from an abusive relationship, living in an isolated vacation home in the South that might be haunted by breath-stealing ghosts.<br />Fueled by paranoia and visceral suspense, and crafted with masterful restraint, these twenty stories explore what happens when our fears become real, if only for a moment. Identities are stolen, alternate universes are revealed, and innocence is lost as the consequences of minor, seemingly harmless decisions erupt to sabotage a false sense of stability. "This is not a morality tale about the goodness of one character triumphing over the bad of another," the shrewd narrator of "Pastoral" announces. Rather, <em>False Bingo</em> is a collection of realist fables exploring how conflicting moralities can coexist: the good, the bad, the indecipherable.<br /><strong>Praise for <em>False Bingo</em></strong><br /><strong>Named a Fall Read by <em>The Boston Globe</em> and the <em>Chicago Tribune</em></strong><br />"Combines the otherworldliness of Jeff VanderMeers <em>Annihilation</em>, the menacing irony of Shirley Jackson and the cold feminist fury of Margaret Atwood. . . .
