Lyrically written stories that speak to the darkness in humans, their faults and dreams. Each was so well written, but some of these stories will never leave me: Antarctica, The Ginger Rogers Sermon, and Sisters

Beautifully written collection of short stories but damned depressing. Definitely not to be read if you're in desperate need of escapism and a pick-me-up.
