“My dead father isn't talking to me. That he doesn't talk to me is odd, since every other spirit talks to me, they all do. But for some reason he's reticent, dumb, mute. No thoughts, no words, no sudden appearances to guide me, to give me direction or inspiration in my life and ways, good or bad. No words to explain why he was the asshole he was during his life, unavailable to me.
He's fucking silent. Still." -- From "Spirits in the Night," included in Mitchell Waldman's forthcoming short story collection, BROTHERS, FATHERS, AND OTHER STRANGERS.”

“Meredith has come to enjoy the sparse perks of living with a neglectful parent: Arlene’s utter lack of meaningful involvement in her life gives Meredith almost complete agency. She comes and goes as she pleases, spends long hours in her room, eats what she wants when she wants, runs a small business…" Kirsten Reed, Ghost Town”
