Sometimes the blade of a knife or the point of a nail is the only way you know you're real. When pain becomes art and a quarter is buried deep within you, all you want is to be seen, to have value, to be loved. But love can be fragile, folded into an origami elephant while you disappear, carried on the musical notes that build a bridge, or woven into an illusion so real, so perfect that you can fool yourself for a little while. Paper crumples, bridges fall, and illusions come to an end. Then you must pick up the pieces, stitch yourself back together, and shed your fear, because that is when you find out what you are truly made of and lift your voice, that is when you \u003cem\u003eSing Me Your Scars\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlurbs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eSing Me Your Scars\u003c\/em\u003e revolves in the mind's eye in a kaleidoscope of darkness and wonder.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Laird Barron, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Croning\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Damien Angelica Walters writes prose as sharp as a scalpel. With surgical precision, she slices through her characters' veneers to lay bare the secret scars underneath, the knots of fear and desire twisting them. The women and men in these stories struggle against their own, oddly-beautiful damage, and even when they succumb to it, the narrative is never less than compelling. Anatomist of dreams and nightmares, Walters is a writer to watch.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—John Langan, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wide, Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePart I: Here\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSing Me Your Scars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the Pieces We Leave Behind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGirl, With Coin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaskutinis Iliuzija (The Last Illusion)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlass Boxes and Clockwork Gods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSugar, Sin, and Nonsuch Henry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePart II: And The Now\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning Empty in a Land of Decay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScarred\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Taste of Tears in a Raindrop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways, They Whisper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDysphonia in D Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShall I Whisper to You of Moonlight, of Sorrow, of Pieces of Us?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImmolation: A Love Story\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart III: And Away\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelancholia in Bloom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIron and Wood, Nail and Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd All the World Says Hush\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey Make of You a Monster\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaper Thin Roses of Maybe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrey in the Gauge of His Storm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike Origami in Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apex Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033419333872,"sku":"9781937009281","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781937009281_p0.jpg?v=1763659656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781937009281","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
