Incendiary Girls

Incendiary Girls - Thryft
Incendiary Girls - Thryft

Capturing humanity's limits with dark humor.

Incendiary Girls would be a great read for someone who enjoys a darkly humorous take on exploring humanity's limits. The stories in this book are imaginative and unique, yet still manage to explore very real emotions and experiences. Kodi Scheer's writing is incredibly descriptive, so the fantastical elements still feel tangible and relatable. Readers may find themselves questioning what it means to be human and how much they're willing to hold on to their own humanity when faced with the absurdities of life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Incendiary Girls explores our baser instincts with vivid imagination and dark humor. In these stories, the body becomes strange and unfamiliar terrain, a medium for transfor-mation. In "Fundamental Laws of Nature," a doctor considers legacy, both good and bad, when she discovers her mother has been reincarnated as a Thoroughbred mare. The infer-tile couple of "Primal Son" desperately wants a child, but when their wish is granted, the baby isn't recognizably human. In "When a Camel Breaks Your Heart," a figure artist struggles to understand her lover's culture as he morphs, quite literally, into an exotic ani-mal. And the title story, narrated by an unorthodox angel, chronicles the remarkable life of a girl just beyond death's reach. In Kodi Scheer's hands, empathy and attachment are illuminated by the absurdity of life. When our bodies betray us, when we begin to feel our minds slip, how much can we embrace without going insane? How much can we detach ourselves before losing our humanity? Scheer's stories grapple with these questions in each throbbing, choking, heartbreaking moment.
