Advance Praise for
The Sin Eater:

"Elizabeth Frankie Rollins has drawn back the bowstring of apocalypse and let her arrow tales fly- a terrific debut collection that always hits its mark. " -Brent Hendricks, author of a Long Day at the End of the World

"Rollins has vision, voice, and heart, and an ear for what disturbs and what restores us.  Anyone with an interest in what's really going on in new American fiction should read her work." -Rebecca Brown, author of American Romances

"The Sin Eater consumed me night after night, enchanting me with its shape-shifting tales.  This debut collection from spellbinder and fairy-tale marvel Elizabeth Frankie Rollins is a prophetic and wonderful book."  -Kate Bernheimer, author of Horse, Flower, Bird

Come celebrate the long-awaited launch for local darling Elizabeth Frankie Rollins' debut collection of short stories, The Sin Eater and Other Stories (Queen's Ferry Press).  Frankie will read from her book and rockin' Tucson music by Courtney Robbins and Algae and Tentacles will follow. Delicious snacks, non-alcoholic beverages and wine will be served.

Sin Eater Description: Damage suffuses The Sin Eater and Other Stories.  From within Elizabeth Frankie Rollin's construct of the blighted home an adulterous husband calls on the services of a stranger to expunge his guilt, a young couple is diagnosed with the bubonic plague, and a bored woman finds herself growing a tail.  In the evocative stories of this debut collection, even the tightest crevices dazzle with restorative possibility.
