For the fourth year in a row, it’s a handful of stories (five, in fact) to make your holidays merry and bright! This year’s lineup:
Tracks – A tale of drifting teenage friendship.
Homecoming – Callan returns home for his annual visit with his father.
The Last Wish – If a genie grants you three wishes, and the first two don’t work out as planned, what should you do with the third?
Monkey-Wrenching Suburbia – A story about misplaced teen angst in 80s suburbia.
Christmas in Kansas – Most people reach an age when they recognize their parents’ flaws. Is it a gift, or a curse?
Blooper Reel – Yep, you read that right! Stick around until the very end for a gift many have requested.
Content Advisory: Some swearing, family loss, alcohol consumption, vandalism, divorce, and minor gore.
Also, I mentioned that I’d leave a link to Jennifer Moss’s novel, TOWN RED. Here it is!
