Kicked in the Head by a Horse

By Ronnie Cassano

In this second collection of short stories, well-crafted prose and characters are mixed with history to tell tales of everyday people forced to rise to the extraordinary and the extreme to survive some of the most harrowing life-changing events from our not so distant past. The post-Civil War south, a 1600s Scottish Clan battle and post-World War Two Appalachia provide the backdrop for finely-constructed stories that blend poetic, incisive writing with characters forced into dark conflicts that seem almost inevitable for the men and women and the times they occupy. With a writing style as beautiful as it is unexpectedly violent, the stories transcend the eras they were born from, lending themselves to themes both timeless and relevant for the sensibilities of today.
