And in 'A Short and Speculative History of Lavoisier's Wife,' the great efforts of French chemist Lavoisier's widow to ensure his legacy are chillingly revealed.

Sparks employs her vast knowledge of the morbid and macabre in 'The Eyes of Saint Lucy,' in which a young girl creates elaborately violent dioramas of famous saints with her mother. Humorous and unapologetically fierce, other stories shine an interrogating light on the adage that 'history likes to lie about women'? as the subjects of 'You Won't Believe What Really Happened to the Sabine Women' (it's true, you won't) will attest. Indeed, the depths of friendship are examined under the most trying circumstances. In 'Mildly Happy, With Moments of Joy,' a friend is ghosted by a simple text message in 'Everyone's a Winner at Meadow Park,' a teen precariously coming of age in a trailer park befriends an actual ghost.

In prose that beats with urgency, these contemporary stories read like the best of fairytales - which are, as Sparks writes, just a warning disguised as a wish. Having garnered acclaim for her shimmering collection The Unfinished World, she reaches uncanny heights with And I Do Not Forgive You. Boldly blending fables and myths with apocalyptic technologies, Amber Sparks holds a singular role in the canon of the weird. Populated with such heroes as time-traveling queens and video-game designing goddesses, and such specters as clingy ghosts and mediocre men, And I Do Not Forgive You is tethered intricately by shades of rage.
