Nice Big American Baby by Judy Budnitz. It's a short story collection. Wife said it reminded her of my stories, so I gave it a shot. While I can't really see a smilarities, since she's evidently a much better writer, I really enjoyed them. There's some magical realism in there, some cool feminist themes, and quite a lot of tension of all kinds, actually. None of them are straight-up horror, but some of them have left me all :O
