I loved "The Caretaker" by Ron Rash, so I looked for his other work. "Burning Bright" is a collection of short stories that all pack a punch and make you think for a second right there at the end.

Ron Rash is probably my new favorite fiction writer. He reminds me so much of John Steinbeck. He writes about the same sort of poverty, the misfits, the challenges in life. Some of his work is a little noir. 

Too bad Ron Rash isn't to be found on social media. I'd be a fan!
