Praise for A Problematic Prophecy & Other Stories
“To dissolve into a dream, to find oneself anew, to experience great loss yet discover solace despite devastation: such themes not only animate these beautifully written stories but offer readers ways of reckoning with a range of human experience from horror to hope. Stephen Newton’s exacting eye gives life to his characters and their surroundings even as unfolding events challenge their very existence and, with it, readers’ expectations.” —Lee Quinby, author of Anti-Apocalypse and Millennial Seduction.
“These entertaining tales kept me riveted, trying to imagine what startling plot twists would resolve them. They display a skillful mastery of the craft and should be of interest to anyone who savors satisfying short stories.”—Lisa Alther, New York Times bestselling author of Kinflicks, and five other novels.
“Grief and loss underlie the best of the stories in A Problematic Prophecy. They contain the details that feel most observed, creating a sense of the firsthand that makes those, like the title story, feel lived in, the situations both authentic and moving.” —Gary Fincke, award winning author of The Out-of-Sorts: Selected Stories, and thirty other books of fiction and memoir.
