Fortune Smiles, by Adam Johnson

This is an excellent, wide-reaching short story collection. There are six relatively meaty stories. Oftentimes I come away wanting more, but I felt these accomplished what they set out to do. Maybe because there were only 6 versus a dozen or more that is more typical in one of these collections.
I felt "Dark Meadow" was the most unsettling because it dealt with child porn. It was still good, just a viscerally uncomfortable read. "Interesting Facts" had a good voice. I really liked the other four short stories as well. Each was very unique.
