Jeffrey Ford 
Big Dark Hole 
and Other Stories

World Fantasy Award finalist

It sounds innocuous. The routine world of college teaching. Quiet evenings on a porch with your wife. And then . . .  maybe it’s an unexpected light in a dark and uninhabited house, maybe it’s a drainage tunnel that some poor kid is suddenly compelled to explore. Maybe there’s a monkey in the woods or an angel that you’ll need to fight if you want to gain tenure. Jeffrey Ford’s stunning new collection
Big Dark Hole is about those big, dark holes that we find ourselves once in a while and maybe, too, the big dark holes that exist inside of us.
