You can tell Richard is a fan of southern gothic and that he has some Faulkner and Flannery O’ Connor blood coursing through his veins. This is pitch-black, hillbilly noir, presented in eleven twisted stories, focusing mainly on outcasts and the downtrodden. There are some stand out tales to be found here but my favorite has to be “The Birds For Christmas”, which feature 2 young boys stuck in a hospital for the holidays, begging the nurses to let them watch Hitchcock’s The Birds, on Christmas Eve. Of course, these stories and Richard’s style of writing my not be for everyone, but if you don’t mind getting your hands a little dirty, give this one a shot.… (mehr)

An uneven collection, but that tends to be the case with most short story collections in my experience. The first two stories are worth the price of admission, but then they get progressively less memorable.

I don't have a copy of the book. So far I've only read "Strays," and it was pretty amazing though depressing as anything.

This memoir is probably not for everybody, but I listened to the audiobook and the narrators deadpan delivery added to the quirkiness of the story. The main character struggles growing up with deformed hips that leave him with a lurching gate as well as the conflicted desire to be a professional writer. The author has a dry wit and self deprecating attitude, and I admire his resilience.
