In prose that sparkles and haunts, Samantha Hunt playfully pushes the bounds of the expected and fills every corner with vibrant life, imagining numerous ways in which the weird might poke its way through the mundane. Each of these ten haunting, inventive tales brings us to the brink--of creation, mortality and immortality, infidelity and transformation, technological innovation and historical revision, loneliness and communion, and every kind of love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLaced with lyricism, hope, Hunt's characteristic sly wit, and her unflinching gaze into the ordinary horrors of human existence, \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Dark \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrates the mysteries and connections that swirl around us. \u003ci\u003eIt's never all the same, \u003c\/i\u003eHunt tells us. \u003ci\u003eIt changes a tiny bit every time. \u003c\/i\u003eSee for yourself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamantha Hunt\u003c\/b\u003e's novel about Nikola Tesla, \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Everything Else\u003c\/i\u003e, was a finalist for the Orange Prize and winner of the Bard Fiction Prize.
