What to expect
Bradford Morrow's stories have garnered him awards such as the O. Henry and Pushcart prizes and have given him a devoted following. Now gathered here for the first time is a collection of his finest gothic tales.
A young man whose childhood hobby of collecting sea shells and birds' nests takes a sinister turn when he becomes obsessed with acquiring his brother's girlfriend, in "The Hoarder," which was selected as one of the Best American Noir Stories of the Century.
An archeologist summoned to attend his beloved sister's funeral is astonished to discover it is not she who has died, but someone much closer to him, in "Gardener of Heart."
A blind motivational speaker has a crisis of faith when he suddenly regains his sight, only to discover life was better lived in the dark, in "Amazing Grace."
Critics Review
“There has never been a short story by Bradford Morrow that I haven’t
read at a single sitting—fascinated, thrilled, at times a bit
breathless. There is a subterranean air about his fiction that pulls the
reader down, as if into a vertiginous whirlpool. if you read just a
single story by Bradford Morrow, you will be drawn into his
gravitational pull inexorably.”
“The Uninnocent is a masterpiece of empathy and of
storytelling. I love this chapel of unholy stories with their charming,
monstrous, wholly sympathetic characters.”
“Morrow gives voice to the peace at the center of the chaos all around and within us. His collection, The Uninnocent, is not only very beautiful but very important.”
“An ambitious, thoughtful writer, technically accomplished and emotionally truthful.”
“Beautifully dark and soulfully intimate stories in his first collection,
featuring characters who, though hardly citizens of virtue, reveal
their true colors with little remorse…Morrow’s stories are hauntingly honest and linger in the
consciousness.”
“Mixing elements of
Southern gothic and noir, these powerful tales will linger in the
reader’s mind.”
“Morrow evinces an eerie and
seductive sureness in summoning the inexplicable and the unnerving in
these shrewd and shivery tales of madness and mayhem.”
“Each story is skillfully turned…there’s no question Morrow knows how to conjure a mood.”
