The Kissing Booth Girl and Other Stories

"Ladies and Gentlemen: I give you the Kissing Booth Girl! Lips that beguile. Oh, I promise, the nearest thing to nuzzling an angel can be yours — today! — for a shiny round Seated Liberty I know you carry in your very pockets as I speak." But to mechanically-inclined Beni, is the ethereal girl who fell from the sky a wish come true or false hope for life beyond the confines of the odd carnival called home. Her story — as well as tales of an order of deep-sea diving nuns caring for a sunken chapel, a high school boy asked to prom by the only dead kid he's ever met, and the humorous advice for all witches when dealing with home-buying — can be found in A.C. Wise's newest collection of the fantastical, the weird, the queer and the poignant.
