Twin Study: Stories
In the sense that all stories have been written before, a truly startling piece of fiction may be the greatest literary feat possible. Enter Stacey Richter, a virtuoso contender for that very prize, whose offbeat characters manage to toe the line between eccentricity and banal daily life. Each story is organized around a pair of characters, and these characters are permitted to reach their full bizarre potential against mundane backdrops. The result is fiction that drives toward a place of surreal revelation, in these sometimes disturbing, often funny, short pieces. In Twin Study, Richter beautifully captures -- albeit through unlikely exemplars -- the essential experience of humanity.

Praise for this book
"Richter's writing has an irony that is familiar yet fresh; her stories are extremely well written and engaging."
"Richter brings a wacky imagination to gender wars...one of the more outlandishly imaginative minds in contemporary fiction."
"This collection offers a refreshingly original vision, reminding us at every turn that our surfaces rarely reflect the depths of our human reality."
"Breathe a sigh of relief at the appearance of Stacey Richter, a hip, pop culture-obsessed fiction writer who actually knows what she's doing. My Date with Satan establishes Richter as a talent to be reckoned with. She writes like a discoverer who has found the country she's been looking for."
