<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For fans of Mary Gaitskill and Kelly Link, <em>Let Me Out Here</em> explores the underbellies and strange desires of our neighbors, our loved ones, ourselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>In her award-winning debut collection, Emily W. Pease is at work redefining the short story. <em>Let Me Out Here</em></strong><strong> explores the underbellies and strange desires of our neighbors, our loved ones, ourselves.</strong> </p> A co-ed takes up/leaves school with a mysterious cab driver who's been calling every night on her dormitory's hall phone; a family isolated by their faith hikes to a waterfall in search of healing; a mother sets her balcony on fire after an awkward family dinner; a woman befriends the snakes her preacher boyfriend keeps in their shed. This revealing collection offers a deep empathy for people doing the best they can, despite themselves.</p> Spread over varied landscapes of the South and offering surprising moments of raw revelation, the characters here find themselves at crossroads or alone on an empty street at night. With <em>Let Me Out Here</em>, Pease joins the ranks of Mary Gaitskill, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Kelly Link, and adds to their tradition a deft, singular style and a voice as darkly funny as it is exacting.</p> <p><em>Let Me Out Here</em> is the 2018 winner of the C. Michael Curtis Short Story Book Prize.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Emily W.
