Spiral bound trade paperback.
Food. Fiction. Put 'em together and what do you get? An anthology of food-related fiction, poetry and unusual recipes, edited by Jason Erik Lundberg, with cover art and book design by Janet Chui.
Two Cranes Press presents 54,000 words of literary ambrosia from a wide gamut of authors, from established novelists to writers who have never published before. Scattered, Covered, Smothered also showcases a range of genres, from the literary to the truly bizarre, and all areas inbetween. Inside these pages, you'll find infatuation in Buenos Aires, quiet relationship struggles in American suburbia, an imaginary land constructed entirely of edibles, and the Lovecraftian horror of a very unusual café, among many others. The tales in this anthology have been exquisitely crafted, gently kneaded and lovingly shaped into imaginative literature that will leave you hungry for more.
