Where You Linger & Other Stories

Bones of extinct species wander a campground, stalking a group of friends in love with
the same woman. The object of their affection seeks solace with a couple in a world with rain
that kills. A woman moves away from her repressed home town, only to transform into a
man-eating monster when she returns. A robot assassin avenges women ruined by capitalism.

Journey to the liminal space with acclaimed author Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam where interconnected stories span from past to future among the dead and the living.
