The Trees Grew Because I Bled There: Collected Stories by Eric LaRocca

dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This was a collection of short stories but they certainly packaged a punch. From gruesome details, to immoral plot lines, I frequently found myself with my nose scrunched in concern for the author’s mental state.
