Devotion: A Rat Story by Maile Meloy

This teeny tiny book by Maile Meloy is a quirky and subtly creepy read, attention grabbing first in its small format (interesting because it is published singularly as an adult fiction book, in a trim size typically reserved for children’s books or otherwise included as a short story in a collection for adults). The rat symbolism and old house in the story reminded me of a weird creepy movie I saw years ago, but the story is original and intriguing in its own way. Still, I’m curious as to why this was published as its own volume—perhaps the EP form of a book?
