From the author of The Australian comes an award-winning collection of short stories that fearlessly explore desire, power, obsession, and our secret selves. In Greyhounds, a college student unexpectedly finds empowerment through her submissive role in bondage and sadomasochism, a pious widow seeks vengeance on her hoarding neighbor, two young sisters become locked in a dangerous game that may change their lives forever, and a woman's reticence transforms into devotion when she learns of her boyfriend's compulsion to kill animals. Impassioned, daring, and steeled with clear-eyed empathy, Smith-Stevens' stories expose what drives us, what haunts us, and what tears us apart.
