Synopsis

MONSTROUS BARGAINS AND BALLADS

Drawing heavily on Lovecraftiana and myth, these are tales of devil’s bargains, love songs to monsters, and the people?human and otherwise?who inhabit liminal spaces. Ghosts, gods, and ghouls make their way as best they can, one step
sideways from the mortals around them. Many are connected; some are puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit. Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released
in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work.

About Amanda Downum

Amanda Downum was born in Virginia, and has since spent time in Indonesia, Micronesia, Missouri, and Arizona, with brief layovers in California and Colorado. She lives in Austin with her partner and their snake, and can be found haunting absinthe bars, goth clubs, and other liminal spaces. Her hobbies used to include cooking hearts and rock climbing, but now most of her time is devoted to studying mortuary science. Her day job sometimes lets her dress as a giant worm.
