The Corner of East and Dreams is a collection of nineteen stories which are off-kilter in some way. The stories include re-tellings — Cassie Bunyan' s Yarn which gives a voice to Paul Bunyan' s wife; The Lion' s Honey which narrates the Biblical story of Samson and Delilah from the point-of-view of Samson' s savaged lock; The Missing Days of E.A.P. which imagines itself into the interstices of Poe' s mysterious death; The Unnaming, a metafictional reversal of the Edenic myth; and The Devil in Decline in which a defanged Satan speaks for himself. Aesthetically, the tales range from the social-realistic to cross-genre, from the comic to the somber, from the credible to the fully fantastic of I Married Yeti, from naturalist to fabulist – making every story a surprise.
