Alex Grass’s collection moves between brief vignettes and longer fiction, with altered bodies recurring in its publisher-described premises.

Those premises put bodily strangeness in different relationships. One involves finding an infant abandoned near railway tracks. Another begins with a person seeking an alteration to her own appearance. Care and choice provide separate routes into the collection’s body horror.
The official press kit adds further changes of scale: a family connection hidden beneath a funeral home, a collar connected to a city’s worship of a dead dog, and hungry infants brought back to a family. These are separate fictional situations, not stages in a single continuing plot. Official Infernal Tramps press kit, including its story descriptions.
