A review by amysbrittain
Thunderstruck & Other Stories by Elizabeth McCracken

4.0

McCracken is a fantastic writer who highlights odd, strangely beautiful elements in small moments. Each of the stories in this collection builds from a loss of some kind. Maybe it was me, or more likely this was a deliberate shaping by McCracken and her editor--the early stories felt more bleak and the later ones offered a little more hope or at least acceptance.
