Circling the Drain
“Mesmerizing . . . compelling . . . This collection, fresh, odd, and frightening, makes Davis a writer to watch.” — Chicago Tribune “A well-guided tour of scarred souls who’ve witnessed terrible things, and surprisingly, found odd bits of beauty in them.” — New York Times Book Review
Wonder When You'll Miss Me
“Heartbreaking.” — Kirkus Reviews “Amanda Davis writes gently, even poetically about extraordinary brutality. She has a distinctively creepy, even noirish sensibility.” — New York Times Book Review “An utterly unique take on what it means to run away and join a circus.” — Elizabeth Strout, author of AMY AND ISABELLE “This book is a circus Pygmalion -- a spectacular tale of injury, heartbreak, and metamorphosis.” — Jonathan Ames, author of The Extra Man “At the end of this rich and satisfying novel...I did not want to leave.” — Michelle Chalfoun, author of Roustabout and The Width of the Sea “This is a marvelous modern-girl odyssey, dark and comic and poignant and smart.” — Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief “Amanda Davis has a wicked and inspired imagination.” — Brady Udall, author of The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint “This is such a good book--the voice is so engaging, heartbreaking and true.” — --Susan Richards Shreve, author of Plum & Jaggers “A story that is at once harrowing and, strangely, filled with adventure.” — Michael Chabon, author of SUMMERLAND

Circling the Drain
Enter into the worlds of fifteen young women who, despite their vastly different circumstances, seem to negotiate an eerily similar and unavoidably dangerous emotional terrain. With a visceral bite or a surreal edge, each electrically charged story in Circling the Drain presents women trying to understand the nature of loss--of leaving or being left--and discovering that in the throes of feverish conflict, things are rarely what they seem. By turns dark and lyrical, ferocious and playful, these stories are precise, startling, and undeniably original. Reading them is a cathartic, mesmerizing literary experience.
