The Patron Saint of Unattractive People
Cyclops children don't live long. At least that's what the cyclops woman's mom told her. Now, she's 38 and working in her parent's failing coffee shop, hiding her single eye under a pair of sunglasses. Failing, that is, until they get the idea to charge for a chance to touch a piece of the staff of Drogo, a fourteenth-century Flemish saint and patron of coffee house keepers and unattractive people. When the novelty wears off, though, the cyclop's woman's parents want her to be come the new attraction. Terrified of exposure, she leaves home to search for other cyclops people. Her journey leads from an Appalachian village populated with alligator-skinned people, to a restaurant in New Jersey that caters to cats, to an estate in England where she meets a crotchety old cyclops who has made his living herding sheep, and finally to a cathedral in France where Drogo spent his last days.
Bearded Women
Welcome to the contemporary Freak Show. A woman trying to have a child has a parasitic twin, an extra lower torso, and set of legs named Bianca—should she have "Bianca's Body" removed to improve her chances at conception? A bearded lady considers coming out of the closet about her hirsute nature, while carrying on a battle of wills with an overeating patron in "Mr. Chicken." A woman with four ears gets a chance to make extra money as the mascot of a tattoo parlour, and encounters a middle-aged, cookie-baking stalker who believes she is a sign that the end of the world is nigh. Meet the "freaks"—they're mothers, wives, and lovers: all of them trying negotiate a world that is quicker to stare than sympathize.

Sexy Like Us
Sexy Like Us: Disability, Humor, and Sexuality takes a humorous, intimate approach to disability through the stories, jokes, performances, and other creative expressions of people with disabilities.

Work Opportunities
Cemetery management. A side gig breathing fire. Tattooing teeth for a living. Wrangling camera-ready squirrels for the movies. These are stories about the jobs people never wanted, always wanted, or still can't land-the jobs they do for lack of a better option, or to support family honor and free honey buns. They are stories about beloved pets, left-behind lovers, family members who won't negotiate, and treacherous bank balances. So enter the thrift store, the side show, the senior center, the zoo, for a cup of coffee or pint of beer, and a few work opportunities you never expected. PRAISE FOR TERESA MILBRODT: Anthony Doerr ("All The Light We Cannot See" and "The Shell Collector") on "Bearde...
