Fiction
Viking marauders descend on a much-plundered island, hoping
some mayhem will shake off the winter blahs. A man is booted
out of his home after his wife discovers that the print of a
bare foot on the inside of his car's windshield doesn't
match her own. Teenage cousins, drugged by summer, meet with
a reckoning in the woods. A boy runs off to the carnival
after his stepfather bites him in a brawl. Wells Tower's
version of America is touched with the seamy splendor of the
dropout, the misfit: failed inventors, boozy dreamers,
hapless fathers, wayward sons. With electric prose and
savage wit, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned is a
profound new collection of stories.
