About This Book

A first-person narrator describes how a routine act of kindness leads to the discovery that a frail-seeming woman is an alien who uses temporary human bodies. Her habit of discarding exhausted bodies around domestic spaces prompts sensational suspicion and legal consequences for the narrator, who faces public outrage and a trial. The tale mixes dark humor and speculative conceit to explore bewilderment, shifting identity, and the unsettling intrusion of the uncanny into ordinary married life.
