Description
"The stories in this bewitching collection begin in the known world before tilting towards mystery and rebellion--a book full of pleasure and surprise." --Aysegül Savas, author of The Anthropologists and Long Distance: Stories

Startling, spellbinding stories, in which appearances and intentions are rarely what they seem from an exciting new voice in fiction.

A psychic harnesses her talent for animal communication to extract a perfect revenge. A stone appears in a woman's pocket like a charm, only to end up lodged in her partner's throat. A condescending artist, who considers his girlfriend too conventional, throws a dinner party where he's served a painful and consequential truth.

Jess Gibson brings us twelve probing, sideways tales that wrestle with the limits of perception and possibility. The men and women in her stories confront contradictory forces: the beautiful can turn grotesque, the exalted can fall into disgrace, the genius can be proved an impostor.

Sharp, funny, surprising, and utterly original, The Good Eye announces a brilliant new voice in contemporary fiction.
