Milk Blood Heat

Milk Blood Heat is a stunning debut collection of intergenerational tales that delve into the lives of Floridians, exploring themes of human connection, race, womanhood, inheritance, and the elemental darkness within us all.

Through intimate portraits of people and relationships, these stories scour, soothe, and blast a light on the nature of family, faith, forgiveness, consumption, and what we may owe one another.

With a thirteen-year-old meditating on her sadness, a woman recovering from a miscarriage unable to let go of her daughter's body parts, a teenager resisting their family's church, servers at a supper club catering to wealthy clientele, and two estranged siblings taking a road-trip with their father's ashes, these stories are both wise and subversive, spiritual and seductive.

Milk Blood Heat is a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful and thought-provoking literary experience.
