About this ebook
When a Martian moon explodes, what follows in rural Texas will take your breath away, in this haunting short novel from the New York Times–bestselling author.
When Lee’s wife of fifteen years leaves him on the same night a Martian moon is destroyed, the fields of his farm still need to be irrigated and the cotton planted. The space accident is too far away to concern Lee more than boll weevils and rain forecasts—but then a giant caterpillar is found on his land.
For months, all Lee sees of the caterpillar are the pieces it leaves behind from molting . . . until the night the moon debris makes its way to Earth.
“Sterling City is mesmerizing, horrifying, strange, and you can’t put it down. It has a kind of stark poetry in the concision and clarity of its prose. Another great example of why you should be reading Stephen Graham Jones.” —Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times–bestselling author of Annihilation
