Calloustown di George Singleton

Another great collection of short stories from the master short story writer, George Singleton. The population of Calloustown did seem to be a little more down beat, than some of the other fictitious towns Singleton has created.

Between Wrecks di George Singleton

I've said it before and will say it again, George Singleton is a genius. With an ear for people's conversation and the ability to bring characters to life, he's one hell of a writer. All that aside, each of his short story collections seem to have one story that's more like what would be fit into a creative writing class. "Between Wrecks" has one of these and it was 80 pages taking up the last part of the book. Since this was my re-read of these stories, I skipped it this time.

The Half-Mammals of Dixie di George Singleton

Still re-reading George Singleton. Great group of stories with the exception of the last one, which really appears to be a add on and has little to do with the other stories (most revolve one way or another around the flea market)
