Woman Who Married a Cloud
by Jonathan Carroll

Always better known as a novelist—readers first experienced Carroll’s fiction in his debut The Land of Laughs, which he followed with Bones of the Moon, Sleeping in Flame, A Child Across the Sky, and others—Carroll has also created a body of short fiction. Perhaps more eclectic and slant-wise than some of his novels, stories like 'Friend's Best Man' and 'Home on the Rain' are included. The Woman Who Married a Cloud: Collected Stories collects 38 stories written across a thirty year long career, a number appearing here in print for the first time.
