Some of us come from families who are, for the most part, loving and supportive. The same with friends. They are there to have fun with and also when you go through a rough patch. These are people who will offer advice, encouragement, a couch if you need it, and a shoulder to cry on.These stories contain many of the opposites. A father who refuses to let his newly freed son go straight. A mother and grandmother who are more interested in a new man's beer and cigarettes to worry that the brute is becoming more vicious and is setting his eyes on the ten year old girl they should be protecting. The bad people in these stories are fine with who they are and pursue their desires with a vengeance.These stories are darkly fascinating. Like the times you see something and know you shouldn't stare, but somehow you just can't look away.
