Head cases...good name for this one...because in these stories the people are already crazy or soon to be driven crazy by the events they experience!The highlights:The White House--like American Horror Story..without the ghosts...a house that just seems to make people go nuts and do bad thingsHeal Thyself--good twist in this one...about a racist trying to cull his racism by finding out forgotten pain in a past life with the aid of regressive therapy...Letters and Lies--new meaning to the phrase going postalThe Weight of Silence--Probably tied for my favorite with The White House...this story also has a good twist...but this is one DARK DARK story...about a mother and father who lose their one month old and how they both cope with it...sorta...it's messed up but it's fantastic..Once again a great book of short stories by Mr. Nicholson and a couple of his writing friends!
