Godforsaken Idaho by Shawn Vestal

5.0

I rarely find a collection of short stories that are so consistent in quality and tone. Most of these deal with Mormons (well, ex-Mormons) in western U.S. in the 1980s, but even the ones that don't (Gulls, Diviner, and the amazing first one) fit the theme of sinners and mistake-makers finding their way.
