North Carolina fiction writer and poet Buchner’s dazzling assortment of 18 tales offers a diverse cast struggling with some outlandish situations, both earthly and otherworldly… One of the assortment’s greatest assets is its sublime unpredictability… The book crosses boundaries and traverses genres with seamless ease… Buchner’s literary talents are on brilliant display... There is indeed mild, sunlit horror embedded in Buchner’s stories, but he also demonstrates a deep understanding of human nature and how it operates in times of desperation and when faced with the paranormal.
