<DIV><b><b>Nominated for a 2012 Bram Stoker Award and a 2013 British Fantasy Award: Thirty-eight extraordinary stories from award-winning author Jonathan Carroll</b></b></div><DIV><BR>For more than thirty years, Jonathan Carroll&rsquo;s writing has defied genre conventions. Known for his novels&mdash;including <i>The Land of Laughs</i>,<i> Bones of the Moon</i>,<i> Sleeping in Flame</i>, and many other compelling and often surreal stories&mdash;Carroll has also created an eloquent body of short fiction. <i>The Woman Who Married a Cloud</i> brings his stories together for the first time. In the title story, a matchmaking effort goes awry and leads one woman to a harrowing moment of self-discovery. In &ldquo;The Heidelberg Cylinder,&rdquo; Hell becomes so overcrowded that Satan sends some of his lost souls back to Earth. And in &ldquo;Alone Alarm,&rdquo; a man is kidnapped by multiple versions of himself. By turns haunting, melancholic, and enchanting, Carroll&rsquo;s richly layered stories illuminate universal experiences, passions, and griefs. Described by NPR&rsquo;s Alan Cheuse as &ldquo;so richly imaginative, so intellectually daring,&rdquo; <i>The Woman Who Married a Cloud</i> is essential reading for Carroll fans and short-story lovers alike.&#160;</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook contains an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.</div>
