These Heroic, Happy Dead: Stories by Luke Mogelson

4.0

A very strong collection of short stories from a former National Guard medic that explore the affect of war on men, both in the field and back at home. Mogelson's rich characters and detailed observations make for a set of compelling and moving stories in a really wide variety of settings and situations. This is no one-trick post-combat pony, folks. Masculine without being overly dude-y, and a perfect use of the short story format. This is a good one, y'all.
