An Ordinary Kind of Strange

By Ree Winter

An Ordinary Kind of Strange is a collection of short stories where the everyday world is laced with the uncanny. Within these pages, caf s breathe with their own secrets, roses bloom with memory, and ordinary lives slip unexpectedly into the extraordinary.

Each story draws on the traditions of magic realism and gothic storytelling, weaving the familiar with the surreal. A supper shared with the dead and a woman whose presence unsettles machines are only a glimpse of the worlds contained here.

These tales linger at the edges of reality, exploring grief, belonging, and transformation with quiet intensity. Perfect for readers who enjoy contemporary voices in magic realism, An Ordinary Kind of Strange offers glimpses of wonder and unease in equal measure.

Fans of Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado, or Aimee Bender will find echoes here, yet these voices are uniquely their own.
