"I Have Her Memories Now is a dark and beautiful collection of stories about girls and women, daughters and mothers, friendship and loneliness. The prose is exquisite, and the narratives have a way of plunging into the characters that is breathtaking. Carrie Grinstead is an amazingly talented young writer. Her stories are utterly hers; they sound like no one else. I really love this book." —Robert Boswell

"Carrie Grinstead's haunting, knife-sharp stories exist in the charged space between the realms of the living and the dead, where characters are at once there and not there, vivid ghosts who compel us to listen and look as closely as we can. From the first moment I read Grinstead's sentences, I felt myself sitting up, tingling, newly alert--her voice makes me want to pay attention to the world." —Sarah Shun-lien Bynum

"I Have Her Memories Now is a shimmering collection of stories about bodies: the ones we despise, the ones we possess, the ones we desire. Here friends become monsters, memories move with organs, and relationships are radically transformed. Carrie Grinstead's vivid prose never fails to delight in this elegant dissection of the boundaries between humans, words, and the world." —Lindsay Starck
