All We Could Have Been and More

Tartt First Fiction Award Winner. ”Fresh, insightful, and at turns darkly comic, the stories that comprise All We Could Have Been and More burn brilliantly with a fierce and distinct wisdom. A lovesick Creature from the Black Lagoon, a mind-controlling zombie fungus spread by ants, a troubled magician trapped in a giant cake: the characters and worlds Shaw so deftly renders are at once both otherworldly and gut-wrenchingly recognizable. A deeply affecting debut collection from a writer I’ll be following with great anticipation.”   -Eugene Cross, author of Fires of Our Choosing
