I'm very happy to announce that in addition to being a Small Press Bestseller when it debuted, my chapbook of six short tales, Families Among Us, sold out of its original print run and is now in its second printing! Winner of the Black River Chapbook Competition,
I hope you'll give this little collection a look and get a copy for
yourself and/or as a gift for the person in your life who loves to read.
You can order the book here, which will be giving future you a gift when it arrives via post. Stories in this book were adapted for broadcast on NPR, published by Tin House, and anthologized in The Best Small Fictions 2015.
And here are some awfully kinds words about the book:
Each of the stories in Blake Kimzey’s astonishing chapbook Families Among Us
are intricate, beautifully written universes unto themselves. These
stories blur the lines between what is real and what is possible yet
they are also intimate and familiar because they are stories about
people and connection and the very human desire to be a part of
something greater than ourselves. —Roxane Gay, Author of An Untamed State and Bad Feminist
These stories are like tiny portholes into worlds teeming with rich, surprising life. Blake Kimzey is a master miniaturist. —Ramona Ausubel, author of No One is Here Except All of Us and A Guide to Being Born
Blake Kimzey has given us all the pleasures our imagination can bear,
six stories to savor slowly, to break our hearts and then mend them. I wanted more of these good things.
—Kyle Minor, author of Praying Drunk and In the Devil's Territory
These imagined worlds conjure not some other space but the forgotten
weirdness of the world we know, revealed here in all its wondrous
everyday magic. —Matt Bell, author of Scrapper and In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods
Following the likes of Orson Welles and his radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds, Rod Serling and the television series The Twilight Zone, and John Carpenter and his film The Thing, Blake Kimzey and his chapbook collection of short stories Families Among Us
delve deep into different, yet equally mysterious phenomena. Kimzey’s
collection proposes that we need look no further than our own homes and
communities for the source of the curious and the bizarre, and it is
through these otherworldly, yet earthly, creations that we discover
that which binds us all. -Colorado Review, Center for Literary Publishing
Without ever resorting to one-to-one symbolic
resonances, or hyperbolic strangeness, these stories strike a balance
that leaves me feeling both recognized, and impossibly far from home. I
also end up wondering how Kimzey walks this line so well. -Green Mountains Review
An
entire universe lives within these forty pages, spun into existence with
the sincere cadence of an ancient origin story. For readers, this
chapbook is a welcome pause from realism, a chance to give in to and
live briefly in the fantastical. -PANK
Lovely
and Majestic. Kimzey has fashioned six allegories about the
inevitability of change, people trying to love what is different from
themselves, and the hardship and heartbreak that comes with being part
of a family. -The Small Press Book Review
Families Among Us
is a daring book. As with Kafka’s work, after living in these stories
for a couple days, they get even stranger, and new layers emerge. -Fiction Southeast
