Short stories by AG Howard
International and NYT best-selling author Anita Grace Howard lives in the Texas panhandle. She is most at home weaving the melancholy and macabre into settings and scenes, twisting the expected into the unexpected. She’s inspired by all things flawed, utilizing the complex loveliness of human conditions and raw emotions to give her characters life, then turning their world upside down so the reader’s blood will race. Married and mother of two grown children (as well as surrogate mom to two Guinea pigs and two sweet cats), Anita divides her days between spending time with her family and plodding along or plotting on her next book. When she’s not writing, Anita enjoys rollerblading, biking, snow skiing, gardening, and family vacations that at any given time might include an impromptu side trip to an 18th century graveyard or a condemned schoolhouse for photo ops.
Listing 1 story.
An alcoholic and abusive father with three children decides he wants to be a better man, and to do that he will abide by Matthew 5—switching his own feet, eyes, tongue, ears, and hands for those of someone better than he. His daughter willingly amputates and sews him together with the assistance of a body part delivery boy called The Collector, but later discovers to her horror that the new parts belonged to her missing mother.
