Alex Wolfgang

Four memorable stories about the cruelty, betrayal, pain--and yes, sometimes love and tenderness--of family life. The anthology has a nice variety of perspectives and tones but still feels cohesive.

Christopher O'Halloran's "Our Migraine" was a great story to start the anthology because it draws out the emotional themes that will be explored in the book. Very imaginative and wrenching!

Antony Frost's "Nos, Da, Tad" reads like a condensed novel and would make a great film. I found this the show more scariest story here because it was so easy to identify with the main character.

Carson Winter's "I Am Not to Be Replaced" begins with a fear everyone has had and develops into quite a violent story with some Ira Levin vibes.

Alex Wolfgang's "The Heads of Leviathan" was perhaps the most unusual story in the quartet. The setting and other imagery here will linger with me for a long time. show less
