The Mutilation Gypsy

About the Book

Randall Ivey, the acclaimed author of The Shape of a Man: A Novella and Five Stories, offers readers another collection of stories, each marked by the writer's versatility and scored by a chorus of distinct voices, young and old, black and white, rich and poor, urbane and primitive. Here are ghost stories, modern fables, prickly satire, and a love ballad or two. Set in the contemporary American South, these stories resound with universal themes and touch the heart with their humor and insight.
