I've read most of Bryan Hall's work so far, and I have yet to be disappointed. This short story collection is a great starting point for the author's work, and it has the same general feel as the rest of his writing, which I love. If you're a fan of Scott Nicholson and any of his Appalachia settings, you'll be a fan of this author as well.With about half of the stories, by the end, you wanted to read more. The author could easily take the rich settings he's created here and spin them into full-blown novellas or novels, because he creates memorable characters and settings. That's a compliment, because (especially with short story collections) after awhile reading the same author's work it starts to blend together and bores me. Not these stories, and he has such a unique style that you might think the tales were written by a dozen different authors, all equally skilled.I will be reading anything and everything this guy puts out!Armand Rosamilia
