Kir Reed has been delighting and terrifying readers for over 30 years with her darkly comic fiction. "Her writing is a treasure house of gems", writes Washington Post Book World. This collection of short stories, drawn from a lifetime's work, shows Reed at the top of her form. First published in venues ranging from The Missouri Review to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Fiction, these 20 stories deal with women's lives and feminist issues from the kitchen sink and pink dishmop era through the warlike years of the women's movement to the uneasy accommodation of the present.
