5.0
A haunting collection of well-polished short stories about West Virginia. I enjoyed every story in this collection.
My favorite story is Brian J. Hatcher's A Banshee in Beckley and I admit that I'm biased because I grew up in the Beckley area. Then, this story kicked me hard in the ovaries - I suffer from a genetic reproductive disease and am infertile. This story plays with the idea of family and the last paragraph summed up emotions that I have to face on a daily basis. I cried for a long time after finishing this story because the idea embodied here is one that I have problems getting other people to understand. Now, I have a new story to share with everyone who doesn't understand my head and why this infertility is something I can't 'just get over.'
Wampus Cat by Scott Nicholson ran a close second for my favorite story because I enjoyed the character development.
My only critique of this series is that I can read one book in a single setting, if I don't make myself stop between the stories.
