Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Salt Dreams is a collection of dark, tender, and humorous stories that explore themes of memory, identity, and connection, often in fantastical ways. In a remote corner of the Upper Peninsula, a girl converses with a UFO via CB radio. An insomnia patient excavates memory in the labyrinthine tunnels of a salt mine. A VR game gives an anxious woman a window into her husband’s mind. The stories in this collection blend everyday and magical elements—borrowing elements of horror, science fiction, and fairy tale—in a way that allows characters to explore old memories, stories, and relationships in new and surprising ways.</p>
