Alice Sebold (born Sep 6, 1963) is an American writer and author of three books including her memoir, Lucky (1999), and two fiction novels, The Lovely Bones (2002), and The Almost Moon (2007). The Lovely Bones, which one reviewer called "a disturbing story, full of horror and confusion and deep, bone-weary sadness. And yet it reflects a moving, passionate interest in and love for ordinary life as its most wonderful, and most awful, even at its most mundane." Sebold's second novel, The Almost Moon, continued what The New Yorker called "Sebold's fixation on terror." The novel begins, "When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily." Sebold also guest-edited The Best American Short Stories 2009. The process required her to read over 200 submitted short stories and to choose only 20 for inclusion in the anthology.
