In Breeder, author Eugenia Collier disturbs the peace. Unsettling tales stepped in the African American oral tradition recall a shameful past and foreshadow an uncertain future. A master storyteller, Collier changes voices with the ease of a chameleon, spanning broad emotional spectrum from dark moods to bright moments. Included in this collected is the ever-popular short-story, Marigolds.
