"The Anchor Book of New American Short Stories"
Edited by Ben Marcus

“Minimalism… maximalism… at least three different flavors of Southern Gothic. … There are stories here that won’t let themselves be put down.”
– The New York Times

“A collection of entertaining, moving and sometimes shocking fiction, and as such, deserves to be read by everyone.”
– Salon
