Their rural and small-town characters confront difficult pasts and look toward promising but often terrifying futures. The pieces range in genre from psychological horror through science fiction and ghost stories, but they all share fundamental qualities: feminist themes, an emphasis on voice, a focus on characters' psychologies and a sense of the gothic in contemporary life. Stories here may recall Charlotte Perkins Gilman's \"The Yellow Wallpaper,\" Shirley Jackson's \"The Renegade,\" or Kelly Link's \"Stone Animals.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flame Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787588035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Christi Nogle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42580569620661,"sku":"9781787588035","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1ed7514d-a9f6-44b2-ab94-d5970523f7d0.jpg?v=1672758204","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-best-of-our-past-the-worst-of-our-future-9781787588035","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
