Every story is fantastic

I don’t believe I have ever read a collection of stories where each story is near perfect such as this collection, certainly not a collection written by a solo author. Likewise, the narrator’s couldn’t have been better themselves. Especially Tom Stechschulte. He’s always has been a favorite of mine but this might be his best performance yet.

Great set of stories

Great set of stories. All I found strong. Southern gothic, dark. Good narrators. Really enjoyed.

Not his best, but still good and worth the listen.

I like everything that CM has written, but a few of these were a bit obtuse and hard to follow.

Interesting

Although most of the stories were pretty depressing for some reason I found them pretty interesting too… all of the narrators were excellent… this is the first William Gay book I’ve read and he so reminds me of Larry Brown… Tom Stechschulte narrates both authors which makes them even more similar…so if you like one of these authors read the other as well!
