Daddy's by Lindsay Hunter

4.0

These stories are gruesome, gritty, and genius. I've seen an unfortunate trend in contemporary short stories where the author tries too hard to make their tale "edgy" and "raw," and instead end up with something incoherent and even disgusting. Lindsay, on the other hand, is a brilliant story-teller who happens (at least in this collection) to often tell gross stories. Sometimes only a couple pages long, the stories in Daddy's are all enthralling and each exhibits a mastery of language such that you can't put them down even though you may want to. I don't think the collection will appeal to everyone, and despite the quality of writing the stories were sometimes unrelenting in a way I am having a hard time putting into words. These stories will stay with me for a while, for better or for worse.
