Gnarled Bones and Other Stories
Tam May, author

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

A 2017 Summer Indie Book Award Nominee. Gnarled Bones and Other Stories explores five tales of loss, fear, and guilt where the past leaves its shadow on the present and future. In “Mother of Mischief”, a newly divorced woman goes back to school to begin a new chapter of her life only to find herself circling back to where she started. In “Bracelets”, childhood nostalgia mingles with brutal fear during a circus outing for a mailroom secretary and her friends. In “A First Saturday Outing”*, a lonely woman ventures out of her isolated apartment one quiet Saturday afternoon to an art exhibit that leaves an eerie impression on her psyche*. In “Broken Bows”, a middle-aged violinist reveals the mystery behind his declining artistic powers to a lonely woman on a train. And the title story, “Gnarled Bones”, paints a portrait of the complex bond between an orphaned sister and brother through journal entries and first-person narrative. * This story was featured on Whimsy Gardener’s Storytime With Whimsy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW9mgw4qhuA
