Description
In I'm Fine, But You Appear to Be Sinking, the strange collides with the mundane: close to home and far from it, in suburban neighborhoods and rural communities, with cycling apocalypses and backyard tigers. Each story stands alone, but they are connected through reoccurring imagery and a shared theme of protagonists in emotional peril. At its core, this collection is imbued with mystery, oddity, humor, and empathy, but what it really wants to show us is that we're never really alone- most especially when we're certain that we are.

Reviews
"Wise slackers, lovable smart alecks, squids, voyeurs, cob snakes, astronauts and amateur astronomers, octopi, clones, tigers, rebels and octopi. Did I mention the octopi? Welcome to the spectacular, funny, vivid world of Leyna Krow's short stories! So completely original in voice and concept--smart, humorous, poignant, clear and meaningful. A fresh, important voice for a new generation of writers. I love these stories."
--Greg Spatz, author of Half as Happy "Leyna Krow's stories range far and wide -- from outer space to the ocean depths to the distant future -- but they are bound by a crackling wit, an inventive vitality, a laser eye for the silent currents between people, and a sneaky emotional power. I'm Fine But You Appear to be Sinking is a wildly imagined debut, a blast of fleet power."
--Shawn Vestal, author of Daredevils and Godforsaken Idaho "Leyna Krow's stories crackle with fearless curiosity and an expansive, embracing wonder towards time and the world. I'm Fine but You Appear to Be Sinking is an antidote to every cynical, self-centered impulse."
--James Tadd Adcox, author of Repetition and Does Not Love "What a wonderful book Leyna Krow has written! And what a rare book - innovative, clever, funny, deliciously language-driven, delightful dialogue - but also so very warm and human. It's about humans, it's for humans, it makes me feel better about being a human reading this book about humans. A joy to read."
--Amber Sparks, author of The Unfinished World, The Desert Places, and May We Shed These Human Bodies
