From road trips to doctors' offices to the mysterious spaces under the house, Kit Anderson's short stories explore the secrets and magic typically unseen in everyday life. A walk through the forest, a family move, a day in a normal life - Anderson's depictions of these ordinary moments transform them with a double-take, revealing the strangeness, surreality, and transformation within. With powerful and personal emotional writing and art, thoughtfully combining magic and life as we all know it - these stories establish Kit Anderson as a presence in short comics-format fiction.
About this Author
Reviews
"Moving, eerie, and contemplative, these short comics zero in on the experiences of loneliness and the subsequent longing for connection across a dizzying array of genres." -- Booklist, Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2024
"What begins as a story rooted in everyday emotion dives into somewhere else entirely, magical realism if you will, providing a wistful lesson amid an astonishing opportunity, yet remaining largely grounded in reality. It's exceptional." -- Slings and Arrows
"Everything I could wish for in a collection. Savor it slowly, and remember what it means to be alive." -- The Beat
"Glorious. Kit Anderson is emphatically travelling in her own storytelling trajectory, but I'd be lying if I said that the great Tillie Walden didn't instinctively spring to mind." -- Page 45
