    Author Mel Bosworth
    “Book Descriptions: The cats have demands and our hands have become bricks. The fighter pilots always occupy the sky. Our brothers gather up sentimental baseball bats and gift us with the beatings of our lives in broad daylight. These are strange days. These are Weird Weeks. In this microcollection of microfictions, Ryan Ridge and Mel Bosworth hold that we can carry through each humdinger of a day—slapstick and sour in turn—no matter the ridiculousness of our muster.

    Advance Praise:

    “It seems like every week nowadays is a weird week, but not good weird. These pieces are good weird—eccentric and surreal and ready to turn on a dime or even on a penny, funny and insane, but with a deep and sometimes grim human core.”

    —Brian Evenson author of A Collapse of Horses

    "Ryan Ridge and Mel Bosworth have produced the most perfect weird book in Weird Weeks. Are these dreams? Fantasias? Postcards from a parallel universe? It doesn’t matter, because they’re so absorbing and funny and sad and good they deserve to just exist without category, to be read without anything but delight.”

    —Amber Sparks author of The Unfinished World

    “Weird Weeks is another wild powerful duet album from Ridge and Bosworth, two flash fiction American masters. Each story howls with life and laughter. A sucker punch right to the heart. With echoes of James Tate, Donald Barthelme, and Italo Calvino, Weird Weeks rises to the occasion of our strange times and leaves the reader breathlessly alive. A full-tilt joyride for the soul, wonderfully weird and dangerously beautiful.”

    —Michael Bible author of Sophia and Empire of Light”
