Books by Kellie Wells

Kellie Wells's second collection of short stories and winner of the Richard Sullivan Prize in Short Fiction, is populated with the world's castoffs, cranks, and inveterate oddballs, the deeply aggrieved, the ontologically challenged, the misunderstood mopes that haunt the shadowy wings of the world's main stage.

Turning loose a Midwestern species of magical realism on a small, God-haunted town in Kansas, Kellie Wells charms strangeness and wonder from what might be mistaken for "ordinary" life

The 11 stories in this volume cover a range of eccentric characters, including a set of opposite-sex conjoined twins. Forced to deal with the debilitating confines of the physical world, Kellie Wells's characters struggle to transcend their existential disappointments and find someone to love.
