Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century

Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century gathers twelve stories that each plant one strange premise and treat it as a fact of ordinary life. A girl grows feathered wings on her legs and her family weighs whether she should fly. A vendor sells small boxes that appear to control the passage of time. An insomniac is seduced, night after night, by the Sandman. Children steal a haunted doll, a runaway bride meets a sea monster, and a house slides into Kafkaesque infestation. Kim Fu blends science fiction, fantasy, horror, and crime fiction into stories that read as quiet, intimate thought experiments, peeling back the normal surface of modern life to find the weird and unsettling thing underneath.
