A new volume of fourteen short stories from the author of Town Smokes and The Wrecking Yard. This new collection bristles with portraits of the grotesque, the disconsolate, the cruel and the lonely, and all of them heading to those singular incidents in which we find recognition, epiphany and, sometimes, compassion.
The story collection Miracle Boy and Other Stories contains fourteen works of short fiction -published in some of America's top literary magazines and anthologies - by one of West Virginia's most well-recognized writers. The stories, set in the author's native Appalachia, concern themselves with the miraculous lives of boys and men.
