  “Bridging tenderness and violence, and brimming with danger and magic, The Girl Who Cried Diamonds will leave you breathless.” — Anuja Varghese, author of Chrysalis
  		 
  “In these 14 hard-edged and unapologetic stories, debut author Garcia tackles topics ranging from human trafficking and drug abuse to eating disorders and middle-age angst, and in no-frills prose, carves out bizarre and palpable realities, breathing strange life into a horde of depressed, deprived, and abused characters.” — Publishers Weekly
  		 
  The boundaries between realist and fabulist, literary and speculative, are shattered in this remarkable debut collection for readers of Carmen Maria Machado, André Alexis, and Angélique Lalonde 
  A girl born in a small, unnamed pueblo is blessed—or cursed—with the ability to produce valuable gems from her bodily fluids. A tired wife and mother escapes the confines of her oppressive life and body by shapeshifting into a cloud. A girl reckons with the death of her father and her changing familial dynamics while slowly, mysteriously losing her physical senses.
  		 
  Infused with keen insight and presented in startling prose, the stories in this dark, magnetic collection by newcomer Rebecca Hirsch Garcia invite the reader into an uncanny world out of step with reality while exploring the personal and interpersonal in a way that is undeniably, distinctly human.

  Being on a ship is usually very safe.  The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable.  A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world.  Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm.  But worse?  No, not really possible, is it? 
   
  In this volume our authors beg to differ.  They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be.  Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.
