“Poignant, shattering, and wholly original, Beneath a Pale Sky
is a marvelous collection of tales from a master storyteller.”
JONATHAN JANZ

“There’s a wonderful and elegantly deceptive classicism to the storytelling in Philip Fracassi’s Beneath a Pale Sky.
But rest assured, lucky reader, that much like the too-still waters of Sabbath Lake, the beauty of these stories conceals a depth
and a darkness that will chill you through and through.”
