**Long-listed for the FRANK O'CONNOR INTERNATIONAL SHORT STORY AWARD**
“Barlow is a magician. He transforms ordinary life into a mysterious place where the weirdest things happen.”
In the tradition of Hitchcock, these sixteen stories turn the everyday —a 24-hour diner, a convenience store, a parent’s home, a tree-filled neighborhood—into dark realms where…
...a son worms his way over, under, and through his hoarder father’s house—in search of a box that holds his future
...a man must decide whether to stop a teenage girl from climbing into a strange man's car
...a woman sits in a tree to teach her husband a lesson, but learns more about her neighbors than she wants to know
...a man considers selling his soul to give his wife the baby she desperately wants
Are you a connoisseur of the peculiar, the odd, the darkly humorous, and the mysterious? Well, then…Welcome to the Goat Rodeo.
