National Endowment for the Humanities awardee and designated Keeper of the Hibernaculum of Imaginary Hedgehogs KJ Hannah Greenberg presents The Immediacy of Emotional Kerfuffles, a spellbinding collection of eighty speculative flash fiction and short fiction offerings. If you like your literary fiction sprinkled with friendly insanity, or if you prefer your contemporary fantasy to resonate with profound realism, or if you simply enjoy reading about anthropomorphic critters and everyday people in unusual situations both mundane and bizarre, this collection is for you.


"KJ's short stories will immerse you in a river of humanity. You will swim with wild things, bob alone in balmy calm backwaters, struggle through raging torrents, meander in mud, and ultimately be pushed into a speculative ocean of desire for more."

Ion Newcombe, editor, AntipodeanSF


"A collection of stories that's as brave as it is entertaining and insightful. KJ Hannah Greenberg is one of the world's most naturally gifted writers, able to capture moments and emotions in time and inject them effortlessly into your soul. Leave this book at your peril; absorb it like it's the last book you'll ever read."

Colin Galbraith, editor, The Ranfurly Review


"Greenberg has really come into her own in the last few years. She's a rising star and "Kerfluffles" only drives that home. Definitely a must read."

E.S. Wynn, editor, Weirdyear
