Congratulations, @erikakrouse.bsky.social! So excited to dig into this!
Today is pub day for my short story collection, Save Me,Stranger. I began this book in 2013, so it's been a long trail. I feel very weepy and grateful today.

Erika Krause's new collection SAVE ME, STRANGER just got a rave review in the LA Times. If it's half as good as her book TELL ME EVERYTHING, it's going to be amazing.

It is no simple matter to save someone or to be saved
In the short stories of Erika Krouse's 'Save Me, Stranger,' attempts to help lead to conflict and a powerful, at times uncomfortable, moral ambiguity.

Emilia Pérez: What a strange, shape-shifter of a movie. A film-noir musical. Definitely worth checking out. Zoe Saldaña is spectacular.
