The Water Trough

By Richard Lutman

The visceral tension of some of these diverse stories forms a cumulative effort affecting uncomfortable situations. Basic fears, despair, dejection, reminiscence, and a little hope run deep throughout the collection. A few find redemption.

George Tucker, editor.

Well-written collection. A good read.

Janet Stokes

A well-crafted diverse collection of fifteen stories.
