In his collection Selected Stories, Troy James Weaver worked a magic on me. In his carefully manicured, few selective words, he made short stories magical again. I wasn’t just thinking about the subject of the stories, but the person writing them. How anyone could think of such nasty, corrosive narratives that stay with you. This isn’t magic like Disney magic. This is a gut punch.

Troy James Weaver is up there with Sam Pink and Paul Tremblay in my top 3 storytellers. You need to read this. That is all.
