Weird Babies

Weird Babies is a short story collection about weird babies: a miraculous set of reincarnated quadruplets, babies born from the bellies of trout, babies who are destined to molt like tarantulas, babies who hatch from piles of warm clothes. It's also about the weird baby living in each of us?the tenderest part of ourselves that longs, at whatever the cost, to be loved.

Stories from Weird Babies have appeared in The Ex-Puritan, The Temz Review, Minola Review, and CRAFT Literary. They were also nominated for the Best Of The Net Award (2025), Best American Science Fiction And Fantasy (2024), and Best American Short Stories (2024); were finalists for the Room Magazine Fiction Contest (2024), the CRAFT Short Fiction Prize (2023), and the 2024 CRAFT Novelette Print Prize; and were winners of the Short Works Prize (2019), and the RBC/PEN Canada New Voices Award (2018).
