Slow Vanishing Book Cover
"Off-beat stories with unexpected endings. Life's ordinary problems intruded on by the bizarre. The Slow Vanishing has a mesmerizing, magical effect," novelist Joanna Catherine Scott says of Sherbondy's book.

Her two poetry collections are After the Fairy Tale (2007) and Praying at Coffee Shops (2008). Sherbondy is a previous winner of the Piccolo Spoleto Fiction Open, a winner of the Hart Crane Poetry Award, and a finalist in Southeast Review's Best Short-Short Story Contest.
