Short Stories
A CUP OF NORMAL
Short Stories by Devon Monk
This collection of twenty-two short stories are measured out with a cup of normal and a pound of the fantastic. From dark fairytales to alien skies, Monk’s stories blend haunting yesterdays, forgotten todays and twisted tomorrows.
Poignant, bittersweet, frightening, and funny, these stories pour out worlds that are both lovely and odd, darkly strange and tantalizingly familiar, where no matter how fantastic the setting or situation, love, freedom, and hope find a way to take root and thrive.

Hi there,
Sadly, I haven’t read anything my Mrs. Monk just yet, but I’m sure I would’ve been delighted. Would anyone happen to know whether any of her short stories are available online?
Thanks!
Max
And by “my” I mean “by”, of course. If writing is rewriting, an Edit button is invaluable. Ancient Chinese proverb. Anyways, having read a few pages from the Amazon book previews, I can confirm that they were a few delightful pages indeed.
Cheers,
Max
