Thunderstruck & Other Stories

“Restorative . . . unforgettable.”  —Sylvia Brownrigg, The New York Times Book Review

“Bewitching and wise.”  —Bonnie Jo Campbell, O: The Oprah Magazine

“Elizabeth McCracken is a national treasure.”  —Paul Harding, The Wall Street Journal

“McCracken’s short stories are like no others. Her distinctive voice, her slightly askew manner of looking at the world, her mix of mordant humor and tenderness, her sense of life’s ironies, and the jolt of electricity at the end of each tale make her work arresting and memorable. . . .  McCracken transforms life’s dead ends into transformational visions.”  —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
