Cascade: Stories by Craig Davidson

dark reflective tense medium-paced

4.5

This collection was a slow burn for me. I felt lukewarm on it for the first several stories, but as I kept reading it’s like it all came together. There’s a bit of a gothic quality to this collection, with the town almost as its own character whose darkness infects everyone else. The twisted family relationships and way the conditions of poverty and pollution affect everyone REALLY work for me. The Vanishing Twin and Firebug were probably my favorite stories.
