      About This Book

      "[Marie-Helene] Bertino blurs the line between writer and magician . . . Dazzling." —Molly Young, The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)

      A Must-Read: The New York Times Book Review, Bustle, Harper's Bazaar, Chicago Review of Books, Our Culture, Literary Hub
      Winner of PEN/O. Henry Prize: "Exit Zero"
      Included in The Best American Short Stories: "Viola in Midwinter"

      Twelve delightfully strange, haunting stories from the acclaimed, oracular author of Beautyland.

      Death-shaped entities—with all of their humor and strangeness— haunt the twelve stories in Exit Zero. Vampires, ghost girls, fathers, blank spaces, day-old peaches, and famous paintings all pierce through their world into ours, reminding us to pay attention! and look alive! and offering many other flashes of wisdom from the oracle and author of Beautyland, Marie-Helene Bertino.
