I'm pleased to announce the release of Midnight at the Organporium, a collection of short fiction by Tara Campbell, in both print and ebook editions, as the sixty-seventh volume in Aqueduct's Conversation Pieces series.
What do a homicidal houseplant, an enchanted office
picnic, sentient fog, and the perfect piece of toast have in common? They’re
all part of the world of Midnight at the Organporium. At turns
droll, wicked, and surreal, these tales cover topics from white flight, to the
Princess and the Pea, to marriage in the afterlife. Visit Midnight
at the Organporium for a dose of twisted obsession, covert
complicity, and peculiar empowerment—and don’t forget to pick up your spare
heart while you’re there.
Advance Praise for Midnight at the Organporium
Tara Campbell’s stories exist at a delightful
quarter turn to the left from our world — places where CEOs turn into lions,
and hearts are sold in the mall — while simultaneously beautifully and deftly
exploring exactly what it means to be human.—Tina Connolly, World
Fantasy-nominated author of On the Eyeball Floor and Other Stories
So much unexpected happens in
Tara Campbell’s weird and wonderful short story collection, Midnight at the
Organporium, that I didn’t want to let these stories go. From full-length
to flash fiction, Campbell’s stories in Midnight at the Organporium sneak
up on you with an exquisite hyper-realism, a sure-fire wit, and most of all, a
daring sense of adventure and possibility.—Caroline Bock, author of Carry
Her Home, Before My Eyes, and Lie
Sometimes funny, sometimes
frightening, and always full of heart — in Midnight at the Organporium,
the everyday and the fantastic conspire to create the authentic.—Erin Fitzgerald,
author of Valletta73
