I really enjoyed C.E. Hoffman's short story collection Sluts and Whores, so when I saw in a newsletter from Querencia Press that there would be a new short story collection by them, I knew I had to have it. The stories in this collection deal with heavy topics, but Hoffman puts in a little bit of humor and a lot of empathy. As the title points out, these stories are all about the people who are at the bottom of the ridiculous and stupid hierarchy and therefore considered worthless. Some stories are fantasy and/or scifi. All of them convey the message that people need kindness, care and compassion from other people. I'm excited to read more from C.E. Hoffman.
