Your Sick

Fever dreams turn kids into parrots, lungs sprout seeds, and a lover's infection infuses into her name. In this collaborative collection by Elizabeth J. Colen, Carol Guess, and Kelly Magee, real contagions transform into magical kinds of sickness, from airborne amnesia to genetic tornados to plague-stricken mail. These magical stories offer no cures for the human condition, but they will infect you with dreams of a different kind of life.
