Abnormal Statistics by Max Booth III
5.0

I've figured out why I have to read everything Max Booth III writes.
It's because he's an amazing writer.
Some writers are born to write and Max is one of those. His writing reminds me of Raymond Carver, but with a sharper edge. My only disappointment with this collection is that there is no introduction. Max's introductions are usually my favorite part of his books. The intro to The Nightly Disease blew me away.
But I can't complain! The first story in Abnormal Statistics is a semi-biographical novella called Indiana Death Song, and it's probably the best thing I've read this year.
Get this amazing collection ASAP and then read everything in Max's catalog.
