4.0

Southern gothic with no Southern romanticism, which I mostly like. These stories are dark. Most the characters are detestable, but you can still feel sympathy for them. "The Displaced Person" was a particularly illuminating look into why people are afraid of people that are different from them.

idk, these were thought provoking stories, but they are not fun to read.
