by Liz Kellebrew (Author)

Award-winning author Liz Kellebrew debuts a short story collection of Mobius strip plots and shapeshifting points of view, where isolation amplifies connection and Ouroboros rules a reality stranger than dreams.

A tiger emerges from a self-mutilation, traveling through time and TV channels to teach a guru how to be reborn as a gunslinger. An earthquake triggers an electrifying hookup that shrinks a man to half his former self, whom he meets at the bus stop afterwards. A woman imprisoned by border agents unlocks freedom in her mind before she finds it among the stars. An omniscient eye escapes from an egg and takes up residence in a Mormon boy's skull, showing him things he never knew existed.

With crackling, sensual, cinematic prose, Cloistered is a surreal journey through self-destruction and into self-transcendence. Kellebrew's stories are a series of gentle detonations that will break open your expectations, dissolve the limits of your perception, and leave you deliciously perturbed.
