“The stories in Black Light are grimy and weird, surprising, utterly lush.... I loved every moment of this book." (Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties)
With raw, poetic ferocity, Kimberly King Parsons exposes desire’s darkest hollows - those hidden places where most of us are afraid to look. In this debut collection of enormously perceptive and brutally unsentimental short stories, Parsons illuminates the ache of first love, the banality of self-loathing, the scourge of addiction, the myth of marriage, and the magic and inevitable disillusionment of childhood.
Taking us from hot Texas highways to cold family kitchens, from the freedom of pay-by-the-hour motels to the claustrophobia of private school dorms, these stories erupt in the mind with a primal howl - sharp-voiced, acerbic, and wise.

"There is a reckless kind of heat to the tender, broken characters in these stories.... Parsons is both unflinching and eloquent in her portrayals of people as they burn and rage." (Lauren Kane, The Paris Review)
"Parsons’s debut crackles with the frenetic energy of the women who stalk its pages.... Parsons’s characters are sharp and uncannily observed, bound up in elastic and electrifying prose. This is a first-rate debut." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
"[An] assured debut.... Imbued with the expanses of their landscapes, Parson’s dozen tales portray characters navigating unavoidable shifts in the realities of their lives." (Leah Strauss, Booklist)
