A book of Southern Gothic short stories of flawed characters caught in sinister situations. A senior older brother calls his sister to pay for his prostitute. A dissatisfied young housewife attends a Total Woman seminar. Twirling class from a tyrannical band director. Just a few of the East Texas hard-living souls erupting from Small Texas, a collection of short stories from the wild mind of Cindy Marabito. Deliverance meets Car Wheels on a Gravel Road with Carson McCullers riding shotgun.
