I enjoyed this chapbook of very short stories. My favorites were the title story, “Lovebirds,” which is one long sentence, and the spectacular “Willow Tree Fever,” which is mysterious and spooky. Well done.
“Our books became ash, then dust, years ago. The girl looks a little younger than my son, maybe ten, not old enough to remember books, schools, our lives before this life. I can hardly remember what came before. Before hurts so bad it's not even a memory.”
This short story collection is bold. Penetrating. Each story a story of lives laid bare. So stunningly well written.
