A teenage girl realizes her lifelong best friends are being seduced by a supernatural force, and must choose between being alone and being ensnared together. A young woman in a troubled relationship finds herself caught between two versions of the same boyfriend-one volatile, and one too good to be true. A lonely mother fears her young child's best friend is a witch. And, in the titular novella, a new widow must decide how far she's willing to go to steal her husband back from the dead.
In The Night Parade and Other Stories, Stephanie Feldman revisits the mid-Atlantic's eerie legends and settings to explore complicated friendships, romantic entanglements, motherhood, and grief with a deft hand, a piercing eye, and a feminist twist.
