Devon Monk published over 50 short stories before her first novel, and A Cup of Normal (2010) collects the best of that work. The stories span science fiction, fantasy, horror, and YA — the breadth of the markets she was writing for throughout the 2000s before the Allie Beckstrom series changed the shape of her career.
The collection is a record of a writer developing range and precision across short forms before committing to the longer arcs of her novel series. It is a useful companion to her longer work and stands well on its own for readers who come to her short fiction first.
