The Things We Fear Most Stories

Penned by the multitalented Gloria Vanderbilt herself, this collection features stories that are touching, surprising, and told in a beautifully calibrated prose. The tales seize upon brief moments that are resonant with the random static of everyday disaster, illustrating characters who merely step into a room to find that everything in their lives has been inexplicably reversed. Engaging and enigmatic, this anthology relates powerful narratives of passionate love as well as compelling defeat.
