A book about love and loss, about dead women orbiting Earth, and about the fine line between madness and magic. In Roller Coaster, the ordinary is always one breath away from the surreal. A teacher watches a space station explode in her classroom. A woman cleans houses of ghosts, dreaming her way into other worlds. Each story begins in the familiar, then tips into wonder, horror, or beauty. These tales are funny and bleak, intimate and bizarre, tender even at their most unhinged.
They ask what it means to be alive, to grieve, to change, to love strangers, and to speak with the dead. Sometimes gently. Sometimes not.
