55 Slightly Sinister Stories by Racha Mourtada

Happy Pub Day to 55 Slightly Sinister Stories by Racha Mourtada! • Every book has an origin story. This one was born of Mourtada's resolution to write one 55 word story a day (stopping on 5/05) and turned out to be an absolute delight to read. Some stories are silly, some sad, but mostly, the stories (as the title would suggest) are sinister in some way. The illustrations by Lynn Atme really added to the experience. This book would make a great exemplar for introducing students to microfiction (that's how I plan to use it!) but would make a great addition to any coffee table, night stand, car, or anywhere where you could use a quick story! • Thanks to @netgalley for an advance copy of this book. • TW: suicide (in the story X Marks the Spot) via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CA718ofgBNB/
