Animals inhabit the edges of the stories in American Animism, the astonishing debut collection from Jamey Gallagher. Veering between realism and magical realism, each story illuminates something necessary, something true. A girl working in a cryptid museum, a boy in the attic of a gift shop on Mystery Hill, a vacation house in Nova Scotia where strange things happen: these are stories of transformation and becoming.
