Take a traditional fairy story, spin it backwards, on its head or inside-out, tease it with irony, wisdom and compassion, and you have Threads and Distortions. This collection of darkly enchanting short tales exposes the hidden, sometimes hurtful seams of contemporary life. Step into sparkling worlds, each one whole and tremblingly authentic. Those who dwell in them -raindrops, moths, a grandmother who fits in a pocket, and words that vanish - speak truths thatwill surprise and unsettle you. With disturbing beauty, Threads and Distortions asks you to reconsider what is safe, familiar and good.
