AFTER THE FIRES
Paperback: 200 pages
Publisher: Tightrope Books (Jun 14 2008)

The stories in After the Fires light the dark places where reality burns away to reveal something fantastical. In these stories Ursula Pflugs worlds unfold like waking dreams where what was forgotten is remembered. Her narrators accept these shadow worlds as their truth and the reader is seduced into following along to see what has been refashioned and lies waiting to be discovered among the ashes that remain after the fires.

Praise for After the Fires:
"Ursula Pflug's stories are the kind you want to carry around with you for those days when it feels like you're living in a strange and incomprehensible world; her stories will make you feel less alone. They are wondrous and unique little creatures that desire nothing more than to play fetch with your weirdest dreams. They are wild inventions built of words and sentences that dig into your psyche and send back reports about all you never knew of the world. They are sly and joyous, scary and entrancing, profound, unsettling, amusing, and utterly -- perfectly! -- unique."
-Matthew Cheney, editor of Best American Fantasy
