Fiction. This debut collection by Meghan Lamb opens with the demolition of a building called the "Hi-Point": with the "destruction and] construction of an empty space." From an uncanny "Atomic Museum" in the desert to a dying-off peepshow to a far-flung, falling apart hoarder house, these stories examine a series of spaces wherein external strangeness mirrors internal conflict. With quietly charged, unflinching prose, Lamb observes our "most private places": the elusive, often unnameable accumulations with which we fill our emptiness.
