Twelve delightfully strange, haunting stories from the acclaimed, oracular author of Beautyland.

Death-shaped entities-with all of their humor and strangeness- haunt the twelve stories in Exit Zero. Vampires, ghost girls, fathers, blank spaces, day-old peaches, and famous paintings all pierce through their world into ours, reminding us to pay attention! and look alive! and offering many other flashes of wisdom from the oracle and author of Beautyland, Marie-Helene Bertino.
