A quietly powerful presence in American fiction in during the past two decades, these collected stories show the true scale of Hempel's achievement. Her compact fictions, populated by smart neurotic somewhat damaged narrators, speak grandly to the longings and insecurities in all of us, and in a voice that is bracingly direct and sneakily profound. These are stories about people who make choices that seem inevitable, whose longings and misgivings evoke eternal human experience. With her trademark compassion and wit, Hempel takes readers into the marriages, minor disasters and moments of revelation in an uneasy America.

LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD ONE OF TIME'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2019 From legendary writer Amy Hempel, one of the most celebrated and original voices in American short fiction: an astounding collection of fifteen stories that are "riveting in precision" (The Atlantic) and "scintillating as the blade of a knife" (The Wall Street Journal). Amy Hempel is a master of the short story. A multiple award winner, Hempel is beloved and highly regarded among writers, reviewers, and readers of contemporary fiction. These fifteen exquisitely honed stories reveal Hempel at her most compassionate and spirited, as she introduces characters, lonely and adrift, searching for connection. In "A Full-Service Shelter," a volunteer at a dog shelter tirelessly, devotedly cares for dogs on a list to be euthanized. In "Greed," a spurned wife examines her husband's affair with a glamorous, older married woman. And in "Cloudland," the longest story in the collection, a woman reckons with the choice she made as a teenager to give up her newborn infant. Quietly dazzling, these stories are replete with moments of revelation and transcendence and with Hempel's singular, startling, inimitable sentences. Ravishing, heartbreaking, and powerfully concise, Sing to It is an "exquisite collection" (The Wall Street Journal) and a "quiet masterpiece by a true American original" (NPR).

He thought it was over...but the true horror has just begun. David James Walker, aka the Deathmask Killer, is finally dead, and it's a cause both for relief and sadness. Relief, because one of the country's deadliest serial killers is gone, and sadness, because his final brutally murdered victim is right there in his arms: Walker's own six-year-old daughter, Amy. However, as Detective Alex Russo and his partner Joe soon discover, nothing is over yet. After a terrifying murder in the morgue and the disappearance of little Amy's body, there's a new trail of slaughtered victims. Alex, Joe, and David Walker's former psychiatrist Albert Martin desperately try to end the terror that started with Walker only to refuse to die with him. But how do they stop a killer that nobody would ever suspect, and a horror that can never be contained? An incredible gore-fest paying homage to the slasher stories of the 70's and 80's, darkly twisted Amy will get under your skin and show you a new nemesis unlike anything you've read about before.
