“Tannery Bay is an unforgettable novel populated with characters who haunt like ghosts in a graveyard. Through dreams, images, and language that explode from the pages like a supernova, this unique and moving novel explores profound questions of inequality, the price of our dignity under capitalism, and the pulsating vibrancies of life.” —Kali Fajardo-Anstine, author of Woman of Light“Steven Dunn and Katie Jean Shinkle have created an exceptional exploration of how place shapes a person, which seamlessly hums beneath a world of taunting, endless Julys. Tannery Bay's fresh prose feels at once immediate and timeless while it unravels the enigmatic town's secrets."—Elle Nash, author of Deliver Me and Gag Reflex
