Beautiful People
by Mitsukazu Mihara
From Mitsukazu Mihara comes a unique collection of poignant stories that examines our innermost fears and desires, and ruminates on the power that love and loss has on our collective consciousness. In this anthology, a young boy tries to grant the ultimate wish to a magical snow princess; two strangers struggle to survive an apocalyptic world--and each other; the lonely victim of a bully takes solace in the world of the Internet; and a woman who has had extensive cosmetic surgery learns the frightening truth about what real beauty is. With an extraordinary blend of magic and realism, the raw emotions and tragic irony filled in Beautiful People will lure you with their charm, and leave you haunted long after the last page is turned.
