A Strong Woman and Other Stories

Valentine Gallardo

Fieldmouse Press

Myth meets modern life in this collection of new and previously published short stories by Valentine Gallardo. Blending humor and fantasy with dreamlike palettes and lived-in dialogue, these surreal vignettes explore the contradictions of modern womanhood through tales of COVID lockdown parties, werewolves, deserts, and self-sabotage. Absurd yet comforting, A Strong Woman & Other Stories is a mirror for anyone who feels out of step with the world.
