Interesting group of short stories, all with strange and bizarre twists.
Really liked this Rock book. He again spun some of his characters into the book just a little bit, the trampoline, etc. It was several short stories, all heavy, all entertaining, all definitely a look into the author's mind.
I had the pleasure of hearing Peter read a story from this collection. They are far out, and strange, I love it! Because the stories are short, it's great to have, when you don't have time for a whole book.
I had never heard of this author before reading these stories, and know nothing more about him. But this was one hell of a book of stories. I secretly want to give this book 4.5 stars.
