Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a collection of five short stories written by Paul Fredrickson. Each piece represents the nausea of grief or insecurity, the isolating emotions that evolve from life's turning points. Blending surrealism with the real, the extraordinary with the ordinary, these stories show how alienation can make someone feel dead in life. But they highlight the importance of preservation, that beauty sprouts from the broken things. All five stories portray the significance of life in the face of death.
