A Garden Fed by Lightning by Marshall Moore

4.0

This collection of short stories left me reeling. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, and I was definitely not prepared for the rich, dark, and quirky stories that awaited me. After the first few stories, I became familiar with Moore's writing and his propensity to twist each story at its end (also it feels like he repeats character descriptions), but the subsequent stories I read retained their ability to delight and sometimes shock. I suspect that most people who read this book will walk away with at least one of its stories seared onto their imagination.
