Short, punchy, visceral stories
A bush party leads to
self-immolation. A cab ride ends in warfare. A squirrel is eviscerated. A
universally impossible dare is accepted and proves not to be fatal. The
weird kid triumphs. The stories in H.B. Hogan's debut collection sizzle
like butter on hot cast iron-they're rich and dark and full of scrappy,
sordid and sparkling humanity.
"[A] darkly entertaining debut collection."--Toronto Star
"This Keeps Happening
is an impressive debut, one that will leave you laughing, cringing,
looking off into space uncomfortably, then turning the page once again."--Broken Pencil
