Life is strange, beautiful, and terrible in the world of Victoria Dalpe's debut short story collection.

The stories contain chance encounters with truck stop mystics, haunted reality show renovations, and cat people roaming the western plains. In Dalpe's writing, horror mixes with humor, and the ordinary with the macabre. Les Femmes Grotesques is a unique and lush reading experience. Tragic and transformative-an unabashed exploration of the dark feminine.
