In Sweet Tomb, Trinie Dalton tells the story of Candy, a candy-addicted witch who resents her inherited lifestyle. After a fire burns down her gingerbread house, she leaves the forest and ventures out in search of the excitement of a more urban environment. Along the way she encounters a self-mutilating puppet, tastes meat for the first time, and falls in love with Death, a skeletal woman with a shoe fetish.

Trinie Dalton is the author of the story collection Wide Eyed, an installment in Dennis Cooper's Little House on the Bowery series for Akashic Books, and of the novella A Unicorn Is Born. She is also the co-editor of Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is" and the editor of MYTHTYM.
