Synopsis
Come meet a Utopian assassin, an aging UFO contactee, a haunted Mohawk steelworker, a time-traveling prizefighter, a yameating Zombie, and a child who loves a frizzled chickennot to mention Harry Houdini, Zora Neale Hurston, and all their fellow travelers riding the steamer-trunk imagination of a unique twentyfirst-century fabulist. From the Florida folktales that inspired Daddy Mention and the Monday Skull (first published in Mojo: Conjure Stories, edited by Nalo Hopkinson) to the imagined story of boxer and historical bit player Jess Willard in World Fantasy Award winner The Pottawatomie Giant to Flannery OConnors childhood celebrity in Unique Chicken Goes in Reverse, Duncan juxtaposes historical figures with marvels and confabulations. This new and selected volume of Duncans best features two new stories, Joe Diabos Farewellin which a gang of Native American ironworkers in 1920s New York City go to a showand the title story where he reveals what really (might have) happened to Thomas Mores head.
