DESCRIPTION
A new story collection.
PRAISE FOR
"The writing in these startling stories by Nate Liederbach is vivid and innovative and perfect for the wild and unexpected events. The scope ranges from the apocalyptically large to the intimately small, and all of it is interesting and moving. Chances are taken, and they pay off. Yes, there is a high jumping economist and witches and outlaws and a tongue to be shaved, but also a candy bar from the past and roadkill, and you get to take your daughter to heaven for a little vacation. I love finding rare writers who are telling the stories only they can tell. Settle in and be ready to be surprised by Blessings Galore.
--Ray Vukcevich, author of Boarding Instructions and Meet Me in the Moonroom
"Nate Liederbach deftly combines slipstream literary fiction and visionary dialogue to pioneer a futuristic territory saturated with intoxicating language. Eloquent, yet tight, Blessings Galore is a heady mixture of stunning story and thoughtful philosophy."
--Stephanie Freele, author of Surrounded by Water and Feeding Strays
"Blessings Galore bears the hallmarks of an experimental classic--it is at once lurid, zestfully grotesque, and utterly wondroous. Nate Liederbach punches not up or down in this wild collection, but straight at the reader's chest, where all the blood and muscle converges--in other words, these stories are not even remotely for the faint of heart."
--Matthew Derby, author of The Silent History and Super Flat Times
