A review by peterangelo
Beneath the Bonfire, by Nickolas Butler

5.0

I was really excited to read this book after enjoying Shotgun Lovesongs. I purchased it as soon as it was released and decided to savor it slowly reading one story between longer books. I was not disappointed. I am always amazed at how a well written short story can very quickly draw you in and connect with you. Each of the stories here did that for me. I found myself thinking every story was better than the last and that to me is the sign of an excellent collection. Bravo Nick!
