Here is the debut short story collection from the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Swamplandia! and the New York Times bestselling Vampires in the Lemon Grove.

In these ten glittering stories, the award-winning, bestselling author Orange World and Other Stories takes us to the ghostly and magical swamps of the Florida Everglades. Here wolf-like girls are reformed by nuns, a family makes their living wrestling alligators in a theme park, and little girls sail away on crab shells.

Filled with inventiveness and heart, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves is the dazzling debut of a blazingly original voice.

Industry Reviews
A San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year

"A master of tone and texture and an authority on the bizarre, Karen Russell writes with great flair and fearlessness." --Carlo Wolff, The Denver Post

"How I wish these were my own words, instead of breakneck demon writer Karen Russell's, whose stories begin, in prose form, where the jabberwock left off. . . . Run for your life. This girl is on fire." --Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Karen Russell is a storyteller with a voice like no other. . . . Laced with humor and compassion." --Lauren Gallo, People

"One of the strangest, creepiest, most surreal collections of tales published in recent memory. . . . Her writing bristles with confidence." --June Sawyers, San Francisco Chronicle

"Twent-five--year-old wunderkind Karen Russell . . . proves herself a mythologist of the darkest and most disturbing sort. . . . Ten unforgettable, gorgeously imaginative tales."--Jenny Feldman, Elle
