"You should read these stories. But consider this a warning: you will find yourself nodding your head in agreement that the world is a sad and messed up place. These stories leave a stain on the heart." - Canadian Literature "Young's style is concise and uncomplicated, but nothing feels incomplete, nothing feels unsaid. He can, in only a few words, evoke feelings intrinsically understood."—The Rover "Young's ability to create an engrossing world in ten or fifteen pages, one that convincingly constructs a range of characters, is impressive. A seamless flow backward and forward through time, the deft plucking of the right detail, a spare prose that doesn't read thin, and conversational exchanges that ring true are some of the qualities that allow the stories to achieve their effect."—Lachlan Murray, The Vancouver Writer's Fest
