This is well written and a good book if you have the stomach for it. Unfortunately, I did not. It's a bleak and disturbing series of short stories that seem to work through some of the author's issues with a religious upbringing. It's filled it suicides, illness, and death, and frankly I had to put the book down once a kitten was run over by a car. I could not finish this one.
Really well-done stories. Fascinating characters. Great use of dialect. I'll be on the lookout for more from Kyle Minor, a major new talent.

Very graphic, very dark, very real. A much darker read than I usually read but I did my best. It's good, strong writing and if you like this kind of genre then you won't be disappointed.
An amazing collection of short stories that dig deep into the human soul. Kyle Minor is an amazing writer who takes every day human happenings and tells beautiful stories.
