Things to Do When You're Goth in the Country: And Other Stories by Chavisa Woods

Did not finish book.

5.0

Each story is memorable and striking in its own right, but I experienced bursts of uncontrollable laughter at “Take the Way Home That Leads Back to Sullivan Street” and “A New Mohawk.” “Revelations” reminds me of Flannery O’Connor (my bae) in its abruptness and discomfort; all of these short stories have this distinct and beautiful unsettling quality to them, specifically regarding the interpersonal interactions with characters who are hesitant, misguided, and walking in eggshells with each other. As a collection, this is a very very strong short story collection and compelling and interesting as fuck!!
