Disappearing Acts (Iron Horse Prize)

By Kim Weldin

In her debut collection, Kim Weldin explores the inner lives of women straining against the quiet confines of marriage, motherhood, and dead-end routines. Set primarily in the American Southeast and the Pacific Northwest, these fifteen brilliant stories map the dark humor, quiet desperation, and unruly desires that emerge when escape begins to feel like survival. From suburban science-fiction satire to haunting explorations of memory and modern alienation, Weldin captures the exact moment when the structures of everyday life begin to fracture. Luminous, subversive, and emotionally resonant, Disappearing Acts is a striking new entry in contemporary literary fiction.
