An immersive collection that illuminates life’s most intense moments.Davenport (author of Dear Lucifer) plumbs harrowing situations that brim with the gristle and decay of dark intentions, made more chilling by their similarity to contemporary times.Narrated in an intimate, fiercely visual style, Davenport’s stories leave readers with an almost cinematic feeling, transporting them to the brink of brokenness alongside characters who damage, chafe, and, ultimately, surprise, with their capacity for treading water in the midst of horrifying situations.This is an evocative collection, alive with portraits of people caught in the strands of life’s bewildering web.
