Pick among the rubble of modern civilization, and listen for the beating of its rusted heart. 'Dark fiction so numbing cold and cutting edge you better hold onto your ass with your free hand … There are no simple 'entertainments' or cheap grabs for the throat to be found here.

Its 12 stories are fused together by the recurring motif of decay … the decay of cities and families, identity and gender, idolatry and love.

If any contemporary author deserves to wear the mantel of Jane Austen, it's Goodman, whose subtle, astute social comedies perfectly capture the quirks of human nature.

Her boyfriend, charismatic Jonathan Tilghman, is in a race to catch up at his data-security company, ISIS, in Cambridge, Mass.

When Emily confides her company's new secret...
