AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An agency that sends social workers into the homes of grieving families to impersonate dead loved ones…

'The kind old woman who saved a teenager’s life but now finds herself haunted by the weight of a cheated suicide…

'And the daughter of a candlestick maker as she tries to survive a painful existence after her father’s execution for making human chandeliers of drunken cowboys…

'These stories and more-ranging from supernatural to the frighteningly domestic, Splatterpunk to the weird and cosmic-stain the pages of Cut to Care: A Collection of Little Hurts by Aaron Dries. They serve as a timely reminder of the cost of caring too much. Or not caring enough. Of how we mask cruelties behind kindness. And of our willingness to rip ourselves apart in the hope of satisfying a world that doesn’t always care for you back. ' (Publication summary)
