The Town of Whispering Dolls
A collection of short fiction inspired by the 2015 opiod-fueled HIV epidemic in Austin, Indiana, as well as rapid economic and social change. Located somewhere in the rust belt in the early twenty-first century, residents in The Town of Whispering Dolls dream of a fabled and illusory past even as new technologies reshape their world into something new and unsettling.
