UNCANNY AND INTIMATE FICTION: From a six-foot wrench dubbed "The Persuader," to a mysterious hitchhiker amid a night swarm of barred owls, to a child watching his father's struggle for identity in a dreamlike hut in the woods, these are stories that deftly weave the strange and bittersweet, perfect for readers of Don DeLillo, Rachel Aviv, and Nino Cipri.
WELL-CONNECTED AUTHOR: Nikki is also a comic book writer, and her comic book writing has been anthologized in The Darkhorse Book of the Dead by Darkhorse Comics, as well as published in the book-length graphic novel Boom!Squad: Duel Identities with illustrator Greg Moutafis.
