Missed seeing local author Steve Fox for his reading and signing back in October? You're in luck, because he'll be joining us again, sharing his his magical realism short story collection Sometimes Creek (Cornerstone Press) on Thursday, April 4 at 6 pm.

About Sometimes Creek
The seventeen unrelenting stories in Steve Fox’s debut story collection traverse a sub-zero trail of plausible magic and grit, from a kaleidoscope of broken ice at a hockey rink in Wisconsin that coils through haunted rivers and around dangling legs of jamón serrano in sweltering Spanish bars and back again to a place where Kafka and Carver meet up on the page. Fox’s clean prose takes you by the hand and weaves a tapestry of tenderness, dissonance, indifference, dystopia, and charm into that gauzy space that collectively takes shape in your hands as Sometimes Creek.
