Tales From the Liminal S K Kruse

"Literary, thought-provoking, and magical, these stories probe the roots of changing lives and different worlds, providing proof that the power of the written word does not need length in order to be outstanding and influential.

The diversity and power of these creations results in a collection that will delight literature readers who want consistently powerful examples of the short story form used to its greatest effectiveness. It delights with hard-hitting messages that linger in the mind long after their reading." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"... a breed of storytelling that encases an entire cosmos within a compact form, with prose that pulses with life, with tableaus that transfix the imagination with glimmers of divine order in an emotionally turbulent landscape ..." - Timothy Cech, fiction editor, Reed Magazine

The world in Sandra "S. K." Kruse's new book is bizarre, backward and beautiful. Populated by Bigfoot, Gertrude Stein and Schrödinger's cat, it is both deeply strange and oddly familiar. There are professorial pigs and typing monkeys and a vast catalogue of philosophical ideas sprung from their hypothetical cages, brought to life as the author gives them form and makes her way, in a series of very short stories, from one odd place to another. - Matt Geiger, Mount Horeb Mail
