Fantasy short story collection, including a fire salamander girl, a were-cougar, an anxious girl turned into...
So, I'm looking for the title of a short story collection. I'm going to briefly describe a couple of the stories:
A fire salamander girl getting stolen and taken to hell, where her creator had to rescue her.
A were-cougar (?) has a child with a man and leaves him. I might be mixing up the genders.
A modern girl talks with Ganesha and his rat and maybe goes on a ride down a New York Highway with him.
A girl with anxiety or something similar is turned into a rat by a Japanese goddess and learns to love herself
And maybe (I feel like I am mixing this up with something else) a half-bigfoot girl tries to be human for a while.
This book was sold at Ollie's Bargain Outlet a couple years ago, it was kind of thick, perhaps 3 inches wide, and it had a green dust jacket. I believe there was a cougar or perhaps a bear in front of trees with a human next to it. Non-realistic artwork, but well done.

Hi there! That's some good info already; although it'd be cool if you could take a look at these guidelines on story-ID, see if that triggers any more memories you could edit in. For instance, how long ago is "a couple years ago"? Three? 20? As par "brief descriptions" - please edit in as much info as possible, as it could be stuff other people remembered as well, and could lead to a successful ID. Cheers :)

Hi there! That's some good info already; although it'd be cool if you could take a look at these guidelines on story-ID, see if that triggers any more memories you could edit in. For instance, how long ago is "a couple years ago"? Three? 20? As par "brief descriptions" - please edit in as much info as possible, as it could be stuff other people remembered as well, and could lead to a successful ID. Cheers :)
