Jeff Fleischer "Animal Husbandry"

Celebrate Jeff Fleischer's new short story collection, Animal Husbandry with us at The Book Cellar!

About the Book:

The stories in Animal Husbandry all deal in some way with mythology, from animal fables to imaginary friends to the myths people tell themselves. In some cases, the myths are fantastical: a farmer finds his cow has given birth to a surprising offspring; a guitarist tries to improve his skills with a visit to the crossroads; or a young girl meets with a visitor in the woods to plot against her neighbors. Others concern everyday mythology: a small-town ballplayer struggles to earn a nickname; a man’s clean bill of health arrives at the worst possible time; or a long-retired screen actress receives a letter that makes her confront her past.
