Customer Reviews

Outstanding group of short stories from various authors

Tin House has a reputation for finding the most interesting, well written short stories from a vast selection of writers. This anthology was such a joy that I almost wanted to only read one story a day in order to make it last that much longer. If your taste is a little to the left, you will love this collection.
