American Fiction Volume 13

Fiction. Short Stories. Edited by Bruce Pratt, with Guest Judge Michael White. Twenty new authors wrestle with the powers that shape our lives. "Winter Burial"—written by a mortician—and "Hearts like Lemons in Fists of Dew" lead the way, luring the reader to poignant characters who experience burying a friend, running away with a circus, and savoring peach pie with Aunt Ida's caramel sauce.
