Salmonson, Jessica Amanda: THE ELEVENTH JAGUARUNDI AND OTHER MYSTERIOUS PERSONS. LaGrand, Oregon: WordCraft of Oregon, 1995. Limited to 250 copies. First Edition, Fine condition, trade paperback.

Foreword and Afterword: "How to Be a Surrealist," and "Why Write, White Rye?," The tales: "The Strange Voyage of Doctor Morbid," "The Fate of de Maupassant," "These Four Dreams," "A Celestial Occurrence," "Doves," "Strange Doings in Viktor's Village," (honorable mention in Year's Best Fantasy & Horror IX, 1996), "Incunabula," "Story with Story," "O, Familiar Man," "Madame Enchantia and the Maze of Dream," "The Eleventh Jaguarundi," "Being Lost Viewed as a Virus Viewed as an Angel Lost in the Molecular Structure of the Human Gene," "The Barker's Hat," and "Allison's Cards." The Review of Contemporary Fiction said of this collection, "Comprised of nine philofictional parables about the mysterious, as well as two neo-surrealist manifestos that form a fore- and afterword, and seven midnight-eerie Max Ernstian illustrations by Thomas Wiloch, this collection marks (given our large address on this century's block) an honestly original early modernist literary moment, proudly out of step with the late millennium. Given Breton's haunting of these pages, there's something European in the pared lyrical prose, like taking an avant-garde fiction off a bookstore shelf in Paris seventy years ago, and something enchanting in the sudden turns in narrative direction and perspective, a literary Japanese garden of surprises around every clause."
