| the minnesota review: Spring 2013, Issue 80 |
The story is the title story for my next book, How the Sun Burns, and the story was a finalist in the 2012 Kore Press Short Fiction Award.
It also happens to be one of my favorite stories.
Here is the opening:
But
aside from the black crepe ribbons that flap on the white poles of
the fair entrance archway, anyone who didn't live in the town last
summer or close enough to hear the nightly news or who didn't ask
about the luminaries lining the dirt avenue that ran along the fair's
midway last night, wouldn't know that a young woman named Helen
Greene disappeared from last summer's Agricultural Fair.
To read the rest, order this Spring's edition of minnesota review.
